Hornady 30 Cal .308 165gr CX /50ct

Hornady's 30 Cal .308 165gr CX bullets (Item #304704, 50 count per box) are reloading components designed for hand loaders building rounds for medium and large game hunting. This monolithic bullet is machined from a single piece of copper alloy rather than a traditional lead core with jacket, so it can't separate under impact and it retains roughly 95% of its weight for deep, reliable penetration on tough game. Up front is Hornady's Heat Shield tip — a heat-resistant polymer tip that resists the aerodynamic heating that would normally cause the tip to deform midflight, resulting in consistently high BC over the entire flight path and giving the bullet a perfect meplat for bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot consistency. The bullet's body uses optimized groove geometry, which maximizes aerodynamic performance while effectively reducing bearing surface and fouling during firing. At .308" diameter, this bullet is intended for standard .30 caliber cartridges (such as .308 Win) that handloaders load themselves — it is a component bullet only, not a loaded/assembled cartridge. Because it's an all-copper, lead-free design, it's fully California compatible and appropriate for use in other areas that require nontraditional bullets , making it a solid choice for hunters in regions with lead-ammunition restrictions.
