HRNDY 6.8SPC 100GR CX 20/200

Description

Hornady’s Custom line has long served hunters and serious shooters who want a factory load built around a premium projectile rather than a budget bullet. This 6.8mm Remington SPC offering uses the CX — Copper X — bullet, a monolithic copper design with a mechanically formed nose cavity. Because the bullet is turned from solid copper rather than bonded lead-core construction, it holds together at a wide range of impact velocities, which matters in a cartridge like the 6.8 SPC that is often used at shorter woods distances where terminal velocity is high, as well as across open ground where it has had room to slow down.

The CX bullet’s polymer tip initiates reliable expansion on contact while the copper shank retains most of its original weight through the target. That combination — consistent expansion paired with deep penetration — makes this load a practical choice for whitetail, feral hogs, and similarly sized game where you need the bullet to work whether you catch bone or slip through soft tissue. The brass case is reloadable, so handloaders can reclaim spent brass after confirming proper headspace and trim length.

Hornady loads this to a published muzzle velocity of 2,550 feet per second, which gives the 100-grain projectile a relatively flat trajectory within typical hunting ranges for the cartridge. The 20-round box format suits range evaluation and hunting packs without the bulk of a case quantity purchase. Hornady also offers this in a 200-round case for those who want to stock up or work up a reliable zero before the season.
