Hrndy Outf 300wsm 180gr Cx 20/200

The Hornady Outfitter 300 WSM 180gr CX ammunition represents a purpose-built cartridge for long-range hunting and tactical applications where controlled expansion and deep penetration are non-negotiable. The 300 Winchester Short Magnum platform delivers magnum-class velocity in a more compact, efficient package than full-length magnums, reducing recoil while maintaining terminal performance at extended distances.

The 180-grain CX projectile—Hornady's premium copper-alloy hollow point—is engineered for consistent expansion across velocity ranges typical of 300 WSM loads. The copper construction eliminates lead-core separation, preserving weight retention and reliable energy transfer through heavy bone and muscle. At 300 WSM velocities, a 180gr CX maintains excellent sectional density for penetration while generating the controlled expansion profile hunters demand. Each round ships in factory-loaded 20-round boxes with 10 boxes per case (200 rounds total), meeting professional inventory standards.

This ammunition class serves hunters and precision rifle operators working in variable conditions—mountain hunts, thick timber, long-range open-country applications—where mid-weight projectiles in magnum-efficient calibers balance velocity, energy retention, and barrel life. The 300 WSM's compact case capacity maximizes powder efficiency, delivering 300 Magnum performance without the larger cartridge's velocity plateau or component cost. Reloaders and shooters standardizing on short-magnum platforms find the 300 WSM 180gr load a dependable field round that performs consistently across hunting seasons.
