Hornady CX 22 Cal .224 65gr Reloading Bullets - 50/Box

The Hornady CX is a 22 caliber .224 diameter reloading bullet purpose-built for high-performance handloading in hunting and precision applications. These projectiles ship in a 50-count box and form the foundation of a custom hunting or lead-free game load tailored to 22 caliber chambers, including the popular .22 Creedmoor.

CX stands for Copper alloy eXpanding. The bullet is machined from a single piece of copper alloy to create a lead-free, monolithic design that delivers controlled expansion and high weight retention on game. This construction provides deep penetration and reliable terminal performance, making the CX an excellent projectile for hunters building lead-free hunting loads without sacrificing downrange accuracy.

At 65 grains with a ballistic coefficient of .365 (G1), the CX balances velocity retention with sectional density for efficient downrange performance. The .224 bullet diameter fits standard 22 caliber reloading dies, and each projectile is engineered for concentricity and consistent seating across a wide range of bolt-action and semi-auto hunting rifles. Hornady packages these in 40 boxes per case for high-volume reloaders.
