The Hornady Outfitter .308 / 7.62 NATO 165gr CX chambers .308 / 7.62 NATO behind a 165-grain CX (part no. 809864), a combination built for big game hunting. Hornady builds this load to tight lot-to-lot tolerances so point of impact does not wander box to box. The single-piece copper-alloy build leaves no lead core to separate, so the bullet retains close to full weight while its petals peel back for deep, reliable expansion. It is one of the rifle ammunition options stocked here, chosen for real-world performance rather than shelf filler. It is the kind of .308 / 7.62 NATO load a shooter can zero once and stop thinking about.
