Hornady Outfitter ammunition in .338 Winchester Magnum (part no. 823394) loads the 225-grain CX bullet for hunters who take their rifles where the weather is the second-toughest thing on the mountain. Hornady builds the Outfitter line around watertight protection: nickel-plated cases are sealed against rain and snow, so the round that rides a week in a wet pack fires like the round that left the box. The CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) is a monolithic hunting bullet that expands uniformly and retains weight for deep penetration, even through bone. In rifle ammunition for backcountry big game, this is the load built for the trip that cannot be repeated.
