The Hornady Outfitter 300 Weatherby Mag delivers maximum terminal performance with 180-grain copper alloy expanding bullets engineered for extreme hunting conditions. This premium ammunition combines Hornady's CX bullet technology with consistent powder charges to produce reliable expansion and deep penetration on large game.
What Makes This Different
The monolithic copper alloy construction eliminates lead fragmentation while maintaining 95% weight retention through bone and tissue. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can separate upon impact, the CX bullet's one-piece design ensures consistent expansion from 1,800 fps down to 1,400 fps. Heat-treated copper alloy provides 33% better weight retention than standard copper bullets while delivering devastating wound channels.
