HRNDY OUTF 257WBY 90GR CX 20/200

Description

Hornady’s Outfitter line is built around one problem: hunting ammunition that gets wet, banged around in a pack, or left overnight in a cold blind and still needs to fire without hesitation. The nickel-plated cases resist corrosion in ways that bare brass cannot, and both the primer and case mouth are sealed against moisture intrusion, so a dunk in a creek or a heavy rain doesn’t compromise the round before it reaches the chamber.

The projectile is Hornady’s CX — Copper Alloy eXpanding — a monolithic copper-alloy bullet with a polymer tip. Because it’s a single-material construction rather than a lead core bonded to a jacket, it holds together through bone and heavy muscle without shedding weight. The tip initiates reliable expansion at velocity, and the grooved shank reduces bore friction and pressure compared to a traditional solid copper design, which matters when you’re running it through a tightly toleranced magnum chamber. At a muzzle velocity of 3,625 fps and muzzle energy of 2,626 ft-lbs, the 90-grain load gets the most out of the .257 Weatherby Magnum’s case capacity — a cartridge that already pushes flat trajectories and hard hits at distance. That combination makes it a sensible choice for open-country hunting where shots on deer-sized or larger medium game may extend well past 300 yards. Each box contains 20 rounds.
