Hornady Outfitter 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr CX - Hunting Ammo - 20rd

A backcountry elk hunter packing light needs one load that works from 40 yards in the timber to 350 yards across a canyon. Hornady Outfitter 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr CX does that — and it meets the lead-free requirements for the California zones many western hunters work through.

CX construction retains nearly all of its weight through impact — copper alloy drives straight through heavy muscle and bone rather than fragmenting or shedding the jacket. CX construction means nearly 100% weight retention through the 120gr bullet — no jacket separation, no core fragmentation, just deep, straight penetration. Lead-free construction meets California condor zone requirements and all other state non-toxic hunting mandates without requiring a terminal performance compromise.

Designed for bolt-action precision rifles and AR-10-pattern semi-automatics. The 6.5 Creedmoor's high BC bullets make wind drift manageable past 500 yards. CX bullets run slightly longer than equivalent cup-and-core weights — confirm OAL fits your magazine before the hunt.

Temperature-stable propellant selection ensures consistent muzzle velocity across the temperature range a backcountry hunt produces — from a 20°F pre-dawn start to a 60°F midday shot. Brass is inspected for dimensional consistency to ensure reliable extraction in bolt-action rifles under field conditions.

Built for guides and outfitters who see diverse game and shot scenarios and need one load that handles everything, and for hunters in states requiring lead-free ammunition who won't accept a terminal performance compromise for regulatory compliance.

Hornady Outfitter is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska with the same oversight applied to the precision hunting and competition lines.
