Best Uses

Zero with it before the hunt, and re-check if you switch from a lead-core load. The 150-grain CX shoots flat thanks to Superformance speed, which helps on open ground. Copper bullets hold their weight, so this load penetrates better than its weight suggests. It is well suited to deer and pronghorn, and it can handle hogs. For elk, many hunters choose the 165 or 180-grain copper options. Hornady Superformance 30-06 150 grain CX is a strong pick for lead-free deer hunting.

FAQ

Is copper ammo good for deer?
Yes. Copper bullets like the Hornady CX hold their weight and often exit, which tends to leave a good blood trail.

How fast does a 30-06 bullet travel?
This 150-grain CX load is listed at 3,080 fps at the muzzle. Heavier 30-06 bullets usually leave slower.

Are copper bullets hard on barrels?
Copper can foul some barrels faster. Use a copper solvent during normal cleaning, and a quality barrel will handle copper bullets without trouble.

How to tell if ammo is lead free?
Check the box and the spec sheet. This load is listed as lead-free, and the CX bullet is made of copper alloy. If a box does not say lead-free, assume the bullet has a lead core.
