Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

If you spend time hunting in the backcountry or dealing with unpredictable weather, the Hornady Outfitter line was built with you in mind. This .308 Winchester ammunition uses a 150-grain CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet loaded into nickel-plated brass cases that resist corrosion and moisture. Every round features sealed primers and case mouths, keeping the internals dry and clean no matter what conditions you're carrying them through.
The CX bullet design is where this load really shows its strength. The one-piece copper alloy construction won't separate on impact, which means you get excellent weight retention at over 95% while the bullet expands uniformly for deep, controlled penetration. This matters when you're taking longer shots or hunting tougher game. The polymer-tipped design gives these rounds a high ballistic coefficient, so they shoot flat and maintain velocity downrange better than traditional ammunition.
The combination of sealed primers and waterproofed cases sets this ammunition apart from standard hunting loads. You're getting professional-grade environmental protection that matters when ammo sits in a pack for weeks or gets exposed to rain and sweat. The nickel plating specifically protects against corrosion from leather gear and salt air, something solid copper bullets can't match on their own.
That 150-grain CX bullet moves at 2800 fps with 2611 foot-pounds of energy, making it effective for medium to large game hunting. The monolithic construction combined with side grooves optimizes aerodynamic performance while reducing barrel fouling compared to traditional lead-core ammunition. For hunters working with longer ranges or non-traditional ammunition restrictions, this load covers both bases without compromise.
The CX uses a one-piece monolithic copper alloy design that won't separate on impact, delivering 95%+ weight retention and deep penetration. Unlike traditional jacketed bullets, the solid construction means less fouling in your barrel and makes it compatible with non-traditional ammunition requirements like California hunting regulations.
The nickel-plated cases are corrosion-resistant, and the primers and case mouths are sealed. This protects against moisture from rain, sweat, and leather gear. While no ammunition is completely waterproof, this setup keeps water out far better than standard brass and gives you peace of mind during wet hunts.
Yes, the 150-grain CX at 2800 fps works well for both medium game like whitetail and larger game like elk. The monolithic bullet design delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration on tougher animals, and the ballistic coefficient keeps energy downrange even at longer distances.
The cases are boxer-primed nickel-plated brass, so they're reloadable. Just keep in mind that nickel plating can be slightly harder on reloading dies than standard brass, and the plating makes tumbling harder. Many reloaders skip the tumbler and just wipe them clean.
