Hornady 7mm Rem Mag Outfitter 150gr CX Ammo FAQ:
CX stands for Copper alloy eXpanding. This technology uses a copper alloy bullet designed to expand reliably upon impact while maintaining high weight retention for deep penetration.
Yes, this ammunition is well-suited for elk hunting. The 150gr CX bullet, combined with its high velocity and energy, provides excellent performance for taking down large game like elk at various distances.
The effective range can vary depending on the shooter's skill and the specific hunting situation. However, with its high ballistic coefficient of .455 and muzzle velocity of 3000 fps, this ammunition can be effective at ranges up to 500 yards or more in capable hands.
The CX bullet offers several advantages over traditional lead-core bullets. It provides consistent expansion, high weight retention, and deep penetration without the environmental concerns associated with lead, making it an excellent choice for performance-minded hunters.
The recommended twist rate for 7mm Remington Magnum rifles shooting 150-grain bullets is typically 1:9.5" or faster. However, many rifles with 1:10" twists will also stabilize this bullet effectively.
The recoil of this ammunition is moderate to stout, typical for high-performance 7mm Rem Mag loads. The 150gr bullet at 3000 fps will produce noticeable recoil, but it's manageable for experienced shooters and well-designed rifles.
The exact trajectory will depend on your rifle's zero, but with a 200-yard zero, you can expect the bullet to drop approximately 7-9 inches at 300 yards. This flat trajectory makes it easier to make accurate shots at varying distances.
Yes, this ammunition is excellent for deer hunting. While it may be considered somewhat powerful for smaller deer species, it ensures quick, ethical harvests and is versatile enough for larger deer species like mule deer.
For optimal performance, a barrel length of 24-26 inches is recommended. This length allows for complete powder burn and helps achieve the advertised velocity, though the ammunition will still perform well in slightly shorter barrels.
The Outfitter line is specifically designed for hunts in challenging conditions. It features nickel-plated cases for corrosion resistance and sealed primers for moisture protection, making it more resistant to the elements than standard ammunition lines.
