Hornady Outfitter 30-06 Springfield 150 Grain CX Polymer Tip Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

Hornady Outfitter 30-06 Springfield 150 grain CX ammunition is built for hunters who demand reliability in the field, from remote backcountry to rough ranch country. This lead-free rifle ammo pairs Hornady's proven CX copper-alloy bullet with corrosion-resistant nickel-plated cases sealed to keep moisture out—a combination designed to handle tough conditions and still deliver consistent, accurate performance when it counts.

The CX bullet is the heart of Outfitter's appeal. Its controlled-expansion design and exceptional weight retention (95% or better) generate deep penetration on medium to large game without the fragmentation that can waste energy on marginal hits. Whether you're hunting antelope at altitude or elk in a rainstorm, this bullet performs uniformly across a wide range of distances and conditions.

Built with waterproofed, nickel-plated cases and sealed primers, Outfitter ammunition shrugs off moisture and corrosion that would compromise standard rounds. That sealed construction isn't just durability theater—it's a practical edge for backcountry trips where your ammo spends days in a pack exposed to weather. Lead-free construction also makes this round California-legal and compatible with regulations in other areas that restrict traditional ammunition.
