The Hornady Custom 6.5mm Grendel 90gr CX (Hornady part no. 81513) pairs a 90-grain CX with 6.5mm Grendel chambering, built for big-game hunting. Hornady loads it for hunters who cannot afford a bullet that quits before it reaches the vitals. The CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet is a monolithic, lead-free design that expands uniformly at the nose while retaining nearly all of its weight for deep penetration. In rifle ammunition, this is the load to zero with and trust on the shot that only comes once a season.
