The Hornady CX 6mm 90gr copper solid hunting bullets deliver consistent, hard-hitting performance for handloaders pursuing medium to large game. Built as a monolithic copper alloy projectile, these bullets won't separate on impact—a critical advantage for hunters who demand reliable deep penetration and exceptional weight retention across a wide range of distances and game sizes. The 50-pack (item 24444) gives you enough rounds to develop your load, test at the range, and hunt with confidence.
What sets the CX apart is its Heat Shield Tip, a heat-resistant polymer design that maintains ballistic consistency throughout the bullet's flight. Traditional bullet tips can degrade under aerodynamic heating, causing BC variation and accuracy drift at extended range; the Heat Shield resists that degradation and delivers a precisely formed meplat for shot-to-shot uniformity. Combined with optimized groove geometry that balances aerodynamic efficiency with reduced fouling, these bullets shoot cleaner and group tighter than conventional designs.
Fully California-compatible and legal in regions requiring monolithic or nontraditional projectiles, the CX expands the options for handloaders bound by lead-free ammunition mandates. Whether you're working up loads for a custom 6mm hunting rifle or experimenting with long-range terminal ballistics, these copper solids offer the precision, consistency, and stopping power serious hunters expect from a premium component.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Hornady CX bullets legal for California hunting?
Yes, these copper solid bullets are fully California-compatible and meet the requirements for lead-free ammunition in regulated areas. They're also appropriate for any jurisdiction requiring nontraditional or monolithic projectiles.
What game are 6mm 90gr CX bullets suitable for?
Hornady rates these bullets as appropriate for medium-size to large game applications, making them versatile for a wide range of hunting scenarios at extended range.
Why does the Heat Shield Tip matter for hunting accuracy?
The Heat Shield Tip resists aerodynamic heating that can degrade conventional tips during flight, maintaining consistent ballistic performance and ensuring a uniform meplat for lot-to-lot consistency. This translates to tighter groups and more reliable long-range accuracy.
Will these bullets foul my barrel more than traditional cup-and-core designs?
No. The optimized groove geometry on the CX is specifically engineered to reduce fouling while maximizing aerodynamic efficiency, keeping your barrel cleaner during load development and hunting.
