Hornady 273704 CX 270 Cal 130gr Copper Solid Hunting Bullets$41.06
Availability: In Stock
The Hornady CX 270 caliber 100 grain copper solid hunting bullets deliver monolithic performance for reloaders pursuing medium to large game. Built as a single-piece copper alloy projectile, the CX won't separate on impact—a critical advantage for hunters who demand consistent, deep penetration and reliable weight retention. At 100 grains, this bullet suits .270 Winchester and similar cartridges used for everything from whitetail to elk-sized game.
Hornady engineered the CX with several features aimed at extending effective range and improving accuracy. The Heat Shield Tip uses heat-resistant polymer to maintain aerodynamic stability throughout the bullet's flight, resisting the effects of high-speed air friction that can degrade ballistic coefficient. This consistent tip design also ensures reliable bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot consistency—important when you're hand-loading ammunition where uniformity directly affects group size and predictability.
The groove geometry on the CX is optimized to reduce bearing surface and fouling, which can help minimize copper fouling in your barrel while preserving aerodynamic performance. Because it's a lead-free, all-copper design, the CX is California legal and compliant in other jurisdictions that restrict traditional lead-core projectiles. Reloaders in restriction zones no longer have to compromise on terminal performance or ballistics.
If you reload for .270 and hunt in California or prefer monolithic copper bullets for their environmental and performance benefits, the Hornady CX 100 grain provides a reliable, proven option that balances penetration, accuracy, and regulatory compliance.
| Caliber | .270 |
| Weight | 100 grains |
| Bullet Type | Monolithic Copper Alloy (CX) |
| Construction | One-piece copper, lead-free |
| Weight Retention | 95% |
| Manufacturer | Hornady |
Yes. The CX is a lead-free, all-copper monolithic bullet and complies with California ammunition regulations. It's also legal in other jurisdictions that require nontraditional or lead-free bullets.
Hornady designed the CX for medium to large game hunting, making it appropriate for calibers and applications ranging from deer to elk-sized animals.
Weight retention refers to how much of the bullet's original mass remains intact after impact. At 95%, the CX retains nearly all of its weight, which contributes to deep penetration and consistent terminal performance on game.
The Heat Shield Tip resists aerodynamic heating and maintains ballistic coefficient consistency throughout the bullet's flight. It also produces a perfect, consistent meplat (tip), which improves bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot uniformity—critical for reloaders seeking tight group sizes and predictable accuracy.
