Hrndy Sf 30-06 165gr Cx 20/200

The Hornady SF 30-06 165gr CX is a modern centerfire rifle cartridge engineered for hunters and precision shooters who demand consistent ballistic performance and deep penetration from a classic caliber. This 20-round box contains 200 rounds total (10 boxes) of factory-loaded ammunition featuring Hornady's CX bullet design—a monolithic copper projectile that delivers controlled expansion and reliable weight retention across medium to long-range hunting distances.

The 165-grain CX bullet is a purpose-built load for .30-06 Springfield rifles. At this weight, the projectile strikes an effective balance between velocity, sectional density, and recoil management—delivering the penetration depth necessary for larger game while maintaining point-impact consistency across typical hunting ranges. Hornady's copper construction resists barrel fouling compared to traditional lead-core designs, extending the service life of precision rifle barrels. Factory consistency in powder charge and bullet seating reduces shot-to-shot velocity variance, a critical factor for hunters making calculated shots at extended distances.

This ammunition is suited for bolt-action rifle owners and semi-automatic platform shooters using .30-06 Springfield chambers. Hunters pursuing whitetail, elk, and similar game at 100–400-yard ranges will find this load's energy delivery and terminal performance reliable. Competitive shooters and those conducting barrel development also benefit from Hornady's quality control and the monolithic bullet's consistent flight characteristics. The 20-round packaging per box and bulk 200-round case offering provide practical quantities for range sessions, hunt preparation, and stock replenishment.

The .30-06 Springfield remains one of the most versatile rifle cartridges in North America, balancing recoil, ballistic coefficient, and availability. The 165-grain weight represents a middle-ground option within the .30-06 lineup—lighter loads offer flatter trajectories, while heavier variants prioritize kinetic energy at extreme range. Hornady's CX technology bridges performance demands by offering a monolithic alternative to traditional jacketed ammunition, appealing to shooters concerned with environmental impact or seeking reduced copper fouling in high-volume shooting scenarios.
