The Hornady CX 6.5mm 120gr copper solid hunting bullets deliver monolithic, all-copper construction designed for hunters who demand reliable terminal performance across a range of game and hunting distances. Built from a single piece of copper alloy, these bullets won't separate on impact, ensuring the deep penetration and weight retention serious hunters expect from premium reloading components.
What sets the CX apart is the Heat Shield Tip—a heat-resistant polymer engineered to resist the aerodynamic heating that occurs at extended range, keeping your ballistic coefficient consistent throughout the bullet's flight. That consistency translates to predictable, repeatable accuracy from shot to shot and lot to lot. The optimized groove geometry balances aerodynamic efficiency with reduced bearing surface, minimizing fouling in your barrel while maintaining the ballistic performance you paid for.
The 120-grain weight in 6.5mm caliber sits in a sweet spot for hunters working medium to large game. The monolithic design also makes these bullets fully compatible with California's nontraditional ammunition requirements, so whether you're hunting in the Golden State or anywhere else, the CX gives you a legitimate alternative to traditional lead-core construction without compromising on terminal behavior.
| Caliber | 6.5mm |
| Weight | 120 grains |
| Bullet Type | Monolithic copper alloy (CX) |
| Construction | One-piece copper solid |
| Tip Design | Heat Shield Tip (heat-resistant polymer) |
| Weight Retention | 95% |
| Part Number | 261104 |
Yes. The CX's monolithic copper construction makes it fully compliant with California's nontraditional ammunition requirements and appropriate for use in other areas with similar regulations.
These bullets are designed for medium to large game hunting applications.
The Heat Shield Tip is a heat-resistant polymer that resists aerodynamic heating during flight, maintaining consistent ballistic coefficient across your entire shot range. It also creates a perfectly consistent meplat (tip), which improves bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot consistency for more repeatable accuracy.
No. The monolithic, one-piece copper alloy construction is designed not to separate, delivering 95% weight retention and deep penetration for reliable terminal performance.
