Description
Hornady designed the Outfitter line for folks hunting in weather that doesn't quit. This .338 Winchester Magnum load ships in nickel-plated, waterproofed brass with sealed primers and case mouths that keep moisture completely out. You're getting ammunition that doesn't care whether you're dealing with wet conditions, sudden temperature swings, or rough backcountry handling.
CX Bullet Performance for Big Game
The CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) monolithic bullet is engineered from one piece of copper alloy that won't separate on impact. At 225 grains with a ballistic coefficient of .490 G1, you're getting a streamlined profile that carries velocity downrange and delivers consistent terminal performance. The Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating and provides the bullet with a uniform tip profile for shot-to-shot consistency.
Reliable Terminal Performance
This round produces uniform, controlled expansion with exceptional weight retention—over 95 percent of the bullet mass stays intact through the target. That translates to deep penetration and reliable energy transfer on medium to large game. With sectional density of .281, the 225-grain load hits with solid momentum on elk, moose, and similarly sized game. Muzzle velocity of 2800 fps means you maintain adequate impact velocity for proper expansion even at extended ranges.
A Box Built to Last
Each box contains 20 rounds. The waterproofed, nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and keep your ammunition field-ready no matter how many days you're out there. If you hunt where lead ammunition isn't an option, the CX copper alloy design works where traditional loads won't.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is this .338 Win Mag load suitable for?
This Hornady Outfitter ammo works well on medium to large game including elk, moose, and similar sized animals. The 225-grain CX bullet delivers the penetration and energy needed for reliable terminal performance on larger game at moderate hunting ranges.
How does the nickel-plated case help in the field?
Nickel plating adds corrosion resistance and keeps your ammunition protected from moisture and environmental elements. Combined with sealed primers and case mouths, this design means your rounds stay reliable whether you're hunting in rain, snow, or humid conditions without any performance loss.
Will this ammunition work in areas with lead restrictions?
Yes. The CX bullet is made from copper alloy, making it compatible with areas that restrict or prohibit traditional lead ammunition. Hornady specifically designed this load for use where nontraditional bullets are required.
What makes the CX bullet different from other hunting bullets?
The CX is a monolithic copper alloy bullet that won't separate on impact, delivering consistent expansion and retaining over 95 percent of its weight for deep penetration. The Heat Shield tip resists melting from aerodynamic heating and maintains a uniform profile for reliable accuracy across your shot string.
