Hornady Outfitter 7mm PRC 160 Grain CX Polymer Tip Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Hornady Outfitter 7mm PRC 160 Grain CX Polymer Tip Lead-Free Ammo delivers dependable, field-proven performance in one of modern hunting's most capable cartridges. Built for hunters who operate in unforgiving terrain—whether you're glassing from high country or working public land far from the truck—this 20-round box pairs Hornady's reputation for precision with rugged construction that handles wet, cold, and demanding conditions without compromise.

At its core is the CX bullet, a copper-alloy design engineered for uniform, controlled expansion and deep penetration. The 160-grain weight strikes a practical balance for medium and large game, delivering the energy transfer serious hunters expect while maintaining the trajectory benefits of the 7mm PRC platform. What sets Outfitter apart is the unrelenting attention to corrosion resistance: nickel-plated cases resist moisture and oxidation, while sealed primers and case mouths lock out water that could compromise reliability in backcountry conditions. These rounds are also California-legal and compliant with non-traditional bullet regulations in other regions, making them a versatile choice if you hunt across state lines or managed areas with special ammunition rules.

This is ammunition built for the hunter who respects weather and distance equally—someone who expects their gear to perform when conditions deteriorate and the shot matters. The 7mm PRC has earned its place as a legitimate long-range hunting round, and Outfitter loads give you the ballistics and durability to capitalize on that potential.
