The Hornady CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet represents the most advanced monolithic hunting bullet on the market, with an optimized design that offers extended range performance, greater accuracy, high weight retention, and deep penetration. This .22 Caliber (.224) 65 Grain variant combines superior performance with California-compatible, lead-free construction—ideal for reloaders building custom hunting or varmint cartridges.
The one-piece copper alloy construction won’t separate and delivers devastating terminal performance, deep penetration, and 95% weight retention, while the Heat Shield® Tip is made of heat-resistant polymer that resists aerodynamic heating and provides consistently high ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet’s flight path. The Heat Shield® tip also gives the bullet a perfect meplat (tip) for bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot consistency.
The grooves on the CX® bullet maximize aerodynamic performance while effectively reducing bearing surface and fouling. With the boat tail design, these 65-grain projectiles deliver the precision and reliability serious reloaders demand. Fully California compatible and appropriate for use in other areas that require nontraditional bullets, CX® provides an excellent option for everything from medium-size to large game. Each box contains 50 bullets.
