Hornady Custom 6.5 Grendel 90gr CX Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Hornady Custom 6.5 Grendel 90gr CX ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for hunting and precision shooting applications. This factory-loaded cartridge features Hornady's advanced CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet technology, engineered to provide consistent expansion and deep penetration across a wide range of velocities.

What Makes This Different

The CX bullet construction eliminates lead entirely while maintaining the proven performance characteristics hunters and shooters demand. Unlike traditional copper bullets that can suffer from inconsistent expansion, the CX design features Heat Shield tip technology and engineered grooves that reduce bearing surface and fouling. This ammunition achieves velocities of approximately 2,630 fps from a 24-inch barrel while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifles.

Key Features

• 90-grain CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet for lead-free performance
• Heat Shield tip prevents deformation and ensures consistent ballistics
• Optimized case capacity and powder charge for 6.5 Grendel platform
• Premium brass cases suitable for reloading applications
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliable function
• Consistent 2,630 fps muzzle velocity from 24-inch barrel
• California compliant lead-free construction

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at impact velocities from 1,600 to 3,200 fps, making this load effective for medium game hunting at extended ranges. The 90-grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and retained energy for the 6.5 Grendel cartridge, particularly in AR-15 platform rifles with 18-24 inch barrels. Weather-resistant primer sealing and case mouth treatment ensure reliable ignition in adverse conditions.
