Hornady CX 37084 375 Cal 250 gr Copper Solid Hunting Bullets

The Hornady CX 375 caliber 250-grain copper solid hunting bullets deliver one-piece monolithic construction built for hunters pursuing medium to large game. Unlike traditional lead-core designs, these all-copper projectiles won't separate on impact, maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle. The 250-grain weight in .375 caliber makes them a go-to option for hunters who demand deep penetration and reliable performance at extended ranges.

Hornady engineered the CX bullet with a Heat Shield Tip—a heat-resistant polymer that maintains consistent ballistic coefficients from muzzle to target. That tip consistency also ensures repeatable shot-to-shot performance and lot-to-lot reliability, two factors that separate precision handloads from mediocre ones. The optimized groove geometry reduces bearing surface and fouling while preserving aerodynamic efficiency, so you get cleaner velocities and tighter groups downrange.

These bullets retain approximately 95% of their weight through impact, meaning minimal energy loss to fragmentation—all that momentum goes into penetration and wound channel. The solid copper construction makes them fully California-compliant and appropriate for any jurisdiction requiring nontraditional bullets, so you won't be caught short when you're hunting in restricted areas. Whether you're handloading for a .375 H&H Magnum, .375 Ruger, or similar cartridge, the CX delivers the terminal performance and accuracy modern hunting demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hornady CX bullets legal for hunting in California?

Yes. The CX is fully California-compliant and constructed from copper alloy, making it appropriate for use in areas that require nontraditional (lead-free) ammunition.

What's the difference between the CX and a traditional lead-core bullet?

The CX is a one-piece monolithic copper construction that won't separate on impact, whereas traditional bullets use a lead core wrapped in a copper jacket. This design delivers deeper penetration and more consistent weight retention—approximately 95%—since there's no core to shed.

What game are these bullets designed for?

The 250-grain CX in .375 caliber is engineered for medium to large game hunting. The weight and construction are suited to cartridges like the .375 H&H Magnum and .375 Ruger.

Do these bullets come ready to load, or do I need to prepare them?

These are component bullets for handloading. You'll need to resize, prime, add powder, and seat them according to your specific cartridge specifications and reloading manual data.
