HRNDY OUTF 300PRC 190GR CX 20/200

Description

Hornady’s Outfitter line is built around a straightforward premise: hunting ammunition that holds up in the field under conditions that would compromise standard loaded rounds. The nickel-plated brass casing isn’t just cosmetic — the plating resists corrosion from moisture and humidity, and the sealed primer and case mouth keep water out when you’re crossing streams or hunting in rain. That matters when a box of ammunition has been riding in a pack for a week in the backcountry.

The projectile is Hornady’s CX bullet, a monolithic copper alloy construction with a polymer tip. Because there’s no lead core to separate or deform unpredictably, the CX retains nearly all of its weight through the target, which translates to consistent, deep penetration on elk-sized game. Controlled expansion is built into the bullet’s geometry rather than relying on a bonded or partitioned core. The polymer tip initiates expansion reliably at the velocities the .300 PRC generates at extended range, where terminal performance on cup-and-core designs can become inconsistent.

At 190 grains, this load sits at the heavier end of what the .300 PRC is chambered to handle, which suits hunters who want high sectional density and a ballistic coefficient that holds velocity well past 500 yards. Muzzle velocity is 3,000 fps with 3,797 ft-lbs of energy, giving this load enough retained energy at distance for clean kills on large-bodied North American game. The .300 PRC’s longer overall cartridge length and freebore design make it a particularly good match for heavy, high-BC bullets like this one. Packed 20 rounds per box.
