The Hornady CX 7mm 139 grain copper solid hunting ammunition delivers monolithic construction built for hunters who demand performance at distance. Where traditional jacketed bullets are limited by separation and inconsistent expansion, the CX's one-piece copper alloy design stays together through bone, muscle, and heavy hide—retaining 95% of its weight to drive deep penetration on medium and large game. This is a reloader's bullet engineered for accuracy, consistency, and terminal reliability in caliber 7mm.
What sets the CX apart is engineering that refuses compromise. The Heat Shield Tip uses aerospace-grade polymer resistant to aerodynamic heating, maintaining a consistent ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's entire flight path. That means your point-of-impact stays true from the muzzle to far downrange. The precisely optimized groove geometry cuts bearing surface and fouling while maximizing aerodynamic efficiency—better velocity retention, flatter trajectory, less copper fouling in your barrel. Every detail compounds into measurable accuracy gains.
Hornady built the CX for hunters in California and other regions where nontraditional copper bullets are required—but its performance envelope spans medium-size to large game everywhere. If you're serious about long-range hunting, load development, or terminal performance, you already know the difference between bullets that separate under impact and bullets that hold. The CX's monolithic construction guarantees consistency lot-to-lot and bullet-to-bullet, giving you the confidence to dial in precision loads and deliver them downrange with confidence.
| Caliber | 7mm |
| Bullet Weight | 139 grains |
| Bullet Type | Monolithic Copper Solid (CX) |
| Material | Copper alloy |
| Weight Retention | 95% |
| Hornady Part Number | 282704 |
The CX is a monolithic copper bullet—one solid piece instead of a lead core with a copper jacket. Because there's no jacket to separate, it retains 95% of its weight through bone and heavy hide, producing deeper penetration and more consistent terminal performance on game. The design also eliminates copper fouling that jacketed bullets can leave behind.
Yes. The Hornady CX 139 grain is sold as a component bullet for reloaders. It's designed for precision handload development and is fully compliant with California and other regions requiring nontraditional ammunition.
The CX is fully California-compliant and appropriate for use in other areas that require nontraditional bullets. Always verify local regulations before hunting in your area.
Hornady designed the CX for medium-size to large game hunting. Its monolithic construction and deep penetration make it well-suited for hunters pursuing elk, deer, and similar game.
