Hornady Outfitter 300 RUM 180gr CX Copper Alloy Expanding Ammo

The Hornady 82084 Outfitter ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance in extreme hunting conditions where standard bullets fail. This 300 RUM cartridge features a monolithic copper alloy construction that maintains structural integrity through bone and heavy muscle tissue.

What Makes This Different

The CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet design eliminates lead fragmentation while providing controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. Unlike traditional cup-and-core bullets that can separate on impact, the monolithic construction ensures weight retention exceeds 95% for deeper penetration. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps, making it effective at extended ranges where other bullets pencil through.

Key Features

• 180-grain monolithic copper alloy bullet with polymer tip
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion in harsh weather
• Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities in all temperatures
• Heat Shield tip prevents deformation during high-velocity flight
• Grooved bullet shank reduces barrel fouling and pressure
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• California compliant - contains no lead components

Field testing demonstrates this load maintains sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles while delivering devastating terminal performance on large game. The 300 RUM's magnum velocity drives the 180-grain projectile to approximately 3,250 fps, generating over 4,200 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. Expansion begins immediately upon contact with soft tissue, creating a wound channel that drops animals quickly and humanely.
