If you’re looking for lead-free 6.5 Grendel hunting ammunition, then your options are fairly limited. Good thing you zeroed in on one of the absolute best: Hornady Custom, which is loaded to handloader standards and grants you the power of the copper-alloy CX!
Some of the CX’s advantages are common to all monolithic bullets, including extremely clean-shooting performance, high rotational stability, and outstanding weight retention (at least 95%). Other perks are unique to a Hornady bullet – specifically the Heat Shield tip, which cannot encounter air friction hot enough to misshape it. The CX’s Heat Shield also showcases Hornady’s patented DVRT, which increases bullet drag uniformity to further enhance accuracy. G1 ballistic coefficient of .356 out of a 24” barrel!
The CX’s terminal ballistics don’t just include the deep penetration characteristic of so tough and resilient a bullet. When impact drives the Heat Shield deep into its underlying socket, the CX responds by mushrooming fast, wide, and altogether lethally.
