Lead-free bullet. Nickel-plated case. A Hornady Outfitter .308 Winchester cartridge does things a little differently – but its effect on medium and large game is undeniable.
Hornady’s Copper alloy eXpanding isn’t at all unlike the more popular TTSX by Barnes. It too features a monolithic body, which is nontoxic, and which does not dirty the barrel with lead residue, and which holds excellent balance in flight, and which uses its superior toughness to ensure that terminal expansion is accompanied by deep penetration.
The CX would satisfy if you’re shooting only for accuracy. In addition to a sleek, grooved shank, it features the Heat Shield. That’s Hornady’s state-of-the-art polymer tip, which ends in a special flat meplat that’s designed to reduce dispersion and increase drag uniformity, and which is also made of resilient polymer that doesn’t deform under intense heat. By Hornady’s measure, the 150 grain CX achieves .418 G1 BC (24” test barrel). By our estimate, that delivers this trajectory: 0yds: -2.0” → 100yds: 1.6” → 200yds: 0.0” → 300yds: -7.8” → 400yds: -22.9” → 500yds: -46.8”
This round’s nickel-plated case isn’t just a cosmetic feature. Nickel is smooth, and it helps keep the case smooth by resisting corrosion: both reasons why this ammo cycles smoothly. Sealed case mouths and primers equal even greater protection against rainfall and humidity.
