Hornady NTX bullets combine a frangible copper alloy core with a hard polymer tip and match‑grade jacket to provide accurate, lead‑free performance for varmint and small‑game shooting where lead restrictions apply. The NTX profile emphasizes flat trajectories and controlled fragmentation designed for predictable terminal effect in appropriate field use. These bullets are offered in a 100‑count configuration for reloaders who require consistent components tailored to high‑velocity, small‑caliber applications.
