Hornady Outfitter 243 Winchester 80gr CX Polymer Tip Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

Hornady Outfitter 243 Winchester ammunition is built for hunters who refuse to let weather, distance, or tough terrain compromise their shot. The 80-grain CX polymer tip bullet delivers the accuracy and impact reliability you need in the field, while the nickel-plated brass cases stand up to moisture, temperature swings, and the corrosive conditions that come with serious backcountry hunting. Lead-free construction makes this round compliant with regulations in sensitive areas and appeals to hunters committed to non-toxic ammunition. Whether you're glassing high country or working timber on your own land, Outfitter ammo is engineered to perform when conditions get rough.

The CX bullet design is Hornady's answer to precision hunting at distance. Its polymer tip not only aids in aerodynamics and barrier penetration, but the solid copper construction ensures consistent expansion and deep penetration on game-sized targets. The nickel-plated case seals watertight, protecting your powder charge from humidity and incidental water exposure—a real advantage when you're hunting in rain, crossing water, or storing ammo in variable conditions. Twenty rounds per box gives you a practical hunting load that doesn't waste space in your pack or vehicle.

For 243 Winchester shooters who demand ammunition that performs in unforgiving conditions, Hornady Outfitter bridges the gap between backcountry practicality and proven ballistics. The lead-free bullet meets increasing regulatory requirements in western states while maintaining the velocity and terminal performance hunters expect from a premium factory load.
