Hornady Custom 338 Lapua Mag 240gr CX Hunting Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Hornady Custom 338 Lapua Mag 240gr CX ammunition delivers exceptional long-range performance for serious hunters and precision shooters. This premium cartridge combines Hornady's renowned Custom line quality with the advanced CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet technology for superior terminal ballistics and consistent accuracy at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

The CX bullet construction sets this ammunition apart from traditional lead-core hunting rounds. Hornady's monolithic copper alloy design eliminates lead fragmentation while maintaining 95% weight retention upon impact. The Heat Shield tip resists deformation during flight, preserving ballistic coefficient and ensuring predictable expansion at velocities ranging from 1,600 to 3,200 fps.

Key Features

• 240-grain CX monolithic copper alloy bullet for maximum weight retention
• Heat Shield polymer tip maintains ballistic coefficient and initiates expansion
• Optimized powder charge delivers 2,900 fps muzzle velocity
• Premium brass cases sized for reliable feeding and extraction
• Ballistic coefficient of 0.610 (G1) for flat trajectory performance
• Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
• 20 rounds per box, 6 boxes per case (120 total rounds)

Field performance demonstrates this cartridge's capability across hunting scenarios from 300 to 800+ yards. The 338 Lapua Magnum case capacity pushes the 240-grain projectile to velocities that maintain expansion energy well beyond 500 yards. Weather-resistant powder and primer combinations function reliably in temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F.
