The Hornady CX 270 caliber 130-grain copper solid hunting bullets deliver monolithic performance for hunters who demand reliability across extended ranges and tough game. Built from a single-piece copper alloy construction, these bullets won't fragment or shed weight mid-flight—they retain 95% of their mass through bone and muscle, ensuring deep, consistent penetration that matters when you're hunting elk, mule deer, or other large game at distance.
What sets the CX apart in reloading bench conversations is the engineering underneath. The Heat Shield Tip is engineered to withstand aerodynamic heating that occurs at long range, maintaining a consistent ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's flight path. That polymer tip also ensures a perfectly uniform meplat (tip geometry) from round to round and lot to lot—tighter shot-to-shot consistency and less sorting headaches when you're loading a precision hunting load. The optimized groove design reduces bearing surface and fouling while maximizing aerodynamic efficiency, so you're not fighting copper deposits between cleanings.
Beyond performance, these bullets solve a real-world problem: they're fully California-legal for hunting and appropriate for any region that restricts traditional lead ammunition. That opens up hunting opportunities in areas where your usual load might not be permitted, without sacrificing the terminal performance hunters expect. Whether you're building a long-range elk round or loading for pronghorn in restrictive zones, the CX 130-grain gives you one proven option that works across multiple use cases and jurisdictions.
| Caliber | .270 |
| Weight | 130 grains |
| Bullet Type | Copper Alloy Monolithic (CX) |
| Part Number | 273704 |
| Weight Retention | 95% |
Yes. The CX is fully California-compliant and approved for use in areas requiring nontraditional (lead-free) ammunition.
The Hornady CX 130-grain is appropriate for medium to large game hunting, including elk and mule deer, especially at extended ranges.
The Heat Shield Tip resists aerodynamic heating that occurs at long range, maintaining consistent ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's flight path. This results in more predictable velocity and trajectory over extended distances.
The optimized groove geometry reduces bearing surface and fouling compared to traditional designs, meaning less copper deposit buildup between cleanings.
