About Copper Alloy eXpanding (CX) Ammunition
These loadings feature Hornady's monolithic copper alloy bullets designed for reliable expansion and complete weight retention without lead content. Introduced as part of Hornady's lead-free ammunition line, the CX bullet incorporates a hollow point design with engineered expansion petals that create controlled mushrooming while maintaining structural integrity. The CX design provides consistent expansion characteristics and deep penetration while meeting lead-free requirements for hunting in restricted areas. These types of loadings are well-suited for big game hunting and areas with lead restrictions where reliable expansion, maximum weight retention, and environmental compliance are essential for effective and responsible hunting applications.Common Copper Alloy eXpanding (CX) Calibers
- 6.5 Creedmoor:The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced by Hornady in 2007 and serves as a modern expansion on the concept of a 6mm round. This relatively new cartridge has become increasingly popular in recent years, establishing a solid reputation in both the world of hunting and precision shooting. Like the .243 Win, the 6.5 Creedmoor is also well-known for its light recoil, accuracy, and flat trajectory. The cartridge has garnered attention from law enforcement and military agencies as rifles in the caliber have been tested and employed in marksman and sniper type roles.
- .223 Remington:The .223 Remington, often referred to as the .223 Rem, is one of the most common rifle calibers in the United States. As an intermediate rifle cartridge, .223 Rem loadings will produce a light recoil impulse and feature a light projectile. The rounds will typically yield a high velocity and feature a flat trajectory. While the cartridge and its NATO cousin have seen duty use, the .223 Rem has also established itself as a capable round as far as target shooting and hunting go as well. The round is enjoyed by shooters, both new and experienced, due to the light recoil and overall performance afforded by the cartridge.
- .30-06 Springfield:Like the name suggests, the .30-06 Springfield was developed by Springfield Armory. The cartridge made its debut in 1906 and was adopted by the military that same year. The “06” in the name actually refers to 1906, the year of the cartridge’s introduction. The round was borne from a desire to replace the .30-40 Krag cartridge which was being eclipsed by other service rifles at the time. Unlike spitzer-tipped (pointed projectile) cartridges such as the .303 British and 8mm Mauser, the .30-40 Krag featured a round-nosed projectile. The cartridge has been utilized in rifles and machine guns in conflicts across the globe since its inception. Beyond use in armed conflicts, the cartridge has been enjoyed by hunters and target shooters. The cartridge has been utilized by hunters across the globe throughout history. Notably, President Theodore Roosevelt used a .30-06 Springfield chambered rifle on safari in Africa. At the end of the day, the cartridge is a round which has been proven in both combat and in the field that continues to be popular today.
- .270 Winchester:The .270 Winchester cartridge was developed by Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1923 and released to the public in 1925. It was designed to be a flat-shooting cartridge suitable for long-range shooting and big game hunting. Its parent case is the .30-06 Springfield and notably features a tamer recoil impulse and smaller diameter projectile. The .270 Winchester quickly gained popularity among hunters and shooters due to its versatility and effectiveness on a wide range of game.
- .300 Blackout:The .300 Blackout cartridge has enjoyed popularity for nearly two decades. This intermediate cartridge was developed by Advanced Armament Corporation in 2009 and provides shooters with versatile supersonic and subsonic loadings. The round was designed to be utilized in M4/AR-15 style firearms and utilizes STANAG type magazines. An initial motivation for the development of the round was to potentially replace the current 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge. The round features a tame recoil impulse and low back pressure. These traits make it a favorite among suppressed shooters as one can achieve near “Hollywood quiet” suppression when the right loading, suppressor, and firearm come together.
