The Hornady CX 338 Cal 225 gr copper solid hunting bullets deliver monolithic construction designed for hunters who demand reliability across extended ranges and tough game. Unlike traditional bonded designs, these one-piece copper alloy projectiles won't separate on impact, giving you consistent, deep penetration and 95% weight retention shot after shot. Whether you're working up loads for a new rifle or fine-tuning an established setup, the CX offers a non-traditional alternative that performs equally well in states with specific ammunition regulations or anywhere you need a proven copper bullet.
The Heat Shield Tip sets these apart from standard copper rounds. This heat-resistant polymer construction maintains the bullet's ballistic coefficient throughout its entire flight path, resisting the aerodynamic heating that can degrade performance at distance. The precisely formed tip also ensures consistent meplat geometry, meaning better bullet-to-bullet uniformity and tighter lot-to-lot tolerances—details that matter when you're chasing groups at the range or counting on repeatability in the field.
Hornady engineered the groove geometry to maximize aerodynamic efficiency while minimizing bearing surface and fouling. The result is a 225-grain projectile that balances velocity retention, accuracy, and terminal performance in the 338 caliber. These are fully compatible with California's non-traditional ammunition requirements, making them an excellent choice for western hunters operating under lead-free regulations or anyone seeking the proven benefits of monolithic copper construction for medium to large game.
| Caliber | 338 |
| Weight | 225 grains |
| Bullet Type | Copper Alloy Expanding (CX) |
| Construction | Monolithic (one-piece) |
| Weight Retention | 95% |
| Hornady Part Number | 332014 |
Yes. Hornady CX bullets are fully California compatible and non-traditional, making them suitable for any jurisdiction requiring lead-free ammunition.
The Heat Shield Tip is engineered specifically to resist aerodynamic heating, which helps maintain the bullet's ballistic coefficient across extended ranges. It also produces a consistent, uniform meplat that improves accuracy and lot-to-lot consistency.
The monolithic copper alloy design delivers 95% weight retention, meaning the bullet stays substantially intact for deep penetration and reliable terminal performance.
Hornady designed the CX for medium to large game hunting applications. The combination of weight retention, penetration, and aerodynamic design supports hunting scenarios where shot placement and velocity retention are critical.
