Hornady CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) Bullets in .30 Caliber, 180 grains (Hornady part no. 301934) represent Hornady’s most advanced monolithic hunting bullet, machined from a single copper alloy with no lead core to separate on impact. The optimized design is built for extended-range performance and greater accuracy than earlier all-copper designs, while still delivering the high weight retention and deep penetration hunters expect from a lead-free bullet. Handloaders building big-game loads in lead-restricted areas or who simply want a proven monolithic option get a bullet engineered specifically for that job.
