Frequently Asked Questions

What does CX stand for? CX stands for Copper alloy eXpanding, describing this bullet’s solid, monolithic copper-alloy construction.

How does a monolithic bullet differ from a jacketed lead-core bullet? A monolithic bullet like the CX is machined from a single copper alloy rather than a lead core wrapped in a jacket, which is why it retains more weight and penetrates deeper on impact.
