Hornady CX 30 Cal .308 190gr Lead-Free Bullets 50pk
These are Hornady CX bullet heads for reloading, not loaded ammunition, supplied as a box of 50 .308in (30 calibre) projectiles weighing 190 grains apiece. The CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) is a one-piece monolithic copper bullet, so there is no lead core to shed and no jacket to separate on impact, which delivers deep, straight-line penetration with around 95% weight retention. Being lead-free, it suits stalkers and hunters who want a non-toxic bullet for larger deer and other medium to large game, and it meets the nontraditional requirements now common across UK ground. The polymer Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating to hold a consistent ballistic coefficient through the bullet’s flight, while Hornady’s optimum groove geometry trims bearing surface and fouling for cleaner barrel.

FAQ
Are these bullets suitable for use in non-toxic hunting regulations?
Yes, these lead-free bullets meet non-toxic hunting requirements and are suitable for use in regions with strict environmental regulations, including the UK.
Do these bullets expand reliably on impact?
The monolithic copper construction ensures consistent expansion and deep penetration with around 95% weight retention on impact.
What is the benefit of the polymer Heat Shield tip?
The polymer Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating, maintaining a consistent ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet’s flight.

I’ve used these bullets in my .308 rifle for deer hunting and noticed excellent penetration and consistent performance. The lead-free aspect is a big plus for ethical hunting in regulated areas. No fouling in the barrel either, which makes cleaning easier.

Great quality bullets. The expansion is reliable and the bullet stays intact through the shot. I appreciate the environmental benefit of being lead-free, and the consistent BC helps with long-range shots.

Solid performance in field tests. The bullet behaves predictably and maintains weight well. A bit more expensive than standard options, but worth it for non-toxic compliance.
