The Hornady Outfitter .308 Winchester 150 Grain CX (80982) is engineered for hunters who face demanding terrain and unpredictable weather. Each cartridge is designed to perform in extreme conditions, with a sealed primer and case mouth, nickel-plated brass, and a monolithic copper-alloy CX bullet for lead-free, deep-penetrating performance.
The CX (Copper Alloy eXpanding) bullet is optimized for consistent expansion, high weight retention, and excellent terminal performance across a broad range of velocities. Its Heat Shield tip maintains aerodynamic stability and resists deformation in flight, ensuring superior accuracy and energy delivery at extended ranges.
Hornady’s Outfitter line combines reliability, corrosion resistance, and precision construction, making it a top-tier choice for hunters, guides, and backcountry shooters who demand ammunition that performs when the elements turn rough.
