Hornady Outfitter 30-06 Springfield 180gr CX Polymer Tip Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Hornady Outfitter 30-06 Springfield 180gr CX ammunition is purpose-built for hunters who expect their gear to perform in unforgiving terrain and harsh weather. These cartridges combine Hornady's proven CX bullet technology with field-proven case engineering, making them a reliable choice for medium and large game hunting across a wide range of conditions. The 180-grain weight is a balanced choice for the .30-06 platform, offering the velocity and energy needed for ethical, effective shots on deer, elk, and similar game.

What sets Outfitter ammo apart is its focus on durability and dependability in the backcountry. The nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and are sealed at the primer and case mouth for watertight protection—meaning your rounds stay dry and functional even after extended exposure to rain, stream crossings, or damp pack conditions. For hunters operating in wet climates or on extended trips, that peace of mind is real. The CX bullet itself is a copper-alloy expanding round engineered for controlled expansion, deep penetration, and high weight retention (over 95%), translating to consistent, reliable terminal performance on game.

Because the CX bullet is lead-free, Outfitter ammunition is California-legal and compliant in other regions with non-traditional ammunition requirements. That expanded legal compatibility makes it a sensible choice whether you're hunting your home state or traveling for a western hunt. Each box contains 20 rounds—a full standard pack ready for the range or field.
