HRNDY 300BLK 110GR CX 20/200

Description

Hornady’s Custom line exists for hunters and shooters who want purpose-built performance without moving to a premium-tier price point, and this 110-grain CX load is a practical choice for anyone running a .300 AAC Blackout rifle in the field. The CX bullet is a monolithic copper-alloy design with a polymer tip. That tip initiates expansion at velocity ranges where a traditional lead-core bullet might not open reliably, while the all-copper construction retains more of the bullet’s original weight through the target than a bonded or cup-and-core design typically does. Retained weight matters for terminal performance on medium game, where the wound channel depends as much on how deep the bullet drives as on how wide it expands.

At 110 grains, this projectile is on the lighter end of what .300 Blackout handles in supersonic configurations, and the trade-off is straightforward: you get a higher muzzle velocity — sources confirm 2,285 fps — which translates to a flatter trajectory at hunting distances and a wider expansion window for the CX bullet. The brass casing is reloadable, which matters to handloaders who want to cycle these cases back into service rather than discard them. Twenty rounds per box is the standard count here, with cases of 200 rounds available for those stocking up ahead of season.

This is not a suppressed subsonic load — the 110-grain CX is designed to perform at full supersonic velocity from a standard-length barrel. Hunters using suppressed setups should note that this round’s performance envelope is built around that supersonic flight, not reduced-velocity operation.
