Hornady CX 6mm (.243) 80 grain bullets are a polymer-tipped, boat-tail design built around a monolithic copper-alloy construction for consistent flight characteristics and weight retention. The Heat Shield polymer tip resists aerodynamic heating to maintain a uniform ballistic profile through the projectile’s trajectory. These bullets are offered in 50-count boxes for reloaders and shooters prioritizing long-range consistency and controlled terminal performance appropriate for ethical harvest. The design emphasizes consistent ballistic coefficient and uniform lot-to-lot performance.
