Hornady CX?

[cstrah6]

Anyone have any experience using these?

Always liked Barns TSX but thinking about giving these a shot

I used some 110gr in a 300 blackout. No complaints, but nothing to get excited about. Killed some deer with them. Velocity was decent. Grouped ~1.75" at 100 out of a 16" Ruger American Ranch.

I used some 139gr CX in a 7mm-08, and liked them a lot. They were consistent and loaded with Varget gave me ~2700fps in a 24" Weatherby Vanguard (Howa 1500). I shot up the only box I had and couldn't find them for a while, and started loading Berger VLD-H 168's, which have been okay. I liked the 139 CX performance better though. Haven't had a chance to put them through an animal yet, but the 110CX's did just fine, so ...

I use the 190 .308 CX in my 300WSM and they are accurate with decent BC. They are going to Africa in July so will have even more data when I return on performance.

I use the 250gr cx in my 375Ruger when I can find them, they sell out about as fast as they will make them, hornday is a weird company when it comes to factory made ammunition, canceling whole lines of ammunition, changing the powder in some , so I usually buy a 10 box lot # to get consistency

It is my theory, that the problem is the current volume of the ammo sales, not so much an issue totally tied to Hornady.

Primer and Powder manufacturing companies can't produce enough to meet the demand for all the different USA companies. Plus defense contracts for Ukraine.

Here in Europe almost all the ammo plants also make powder, and most of them make primers.

RWS, Norma and Lapua in Europe and Winchester, Federal and Remington are either part of an
bigger group that makes powder and primers or make both themselves.

Hornady is a consumer and not producer of primers and powder. So they have to change lots when things are not available of SKUS that move quickly.

Hornady isn't alone.
