300 WSM – 180 gr CX – Hornady Outfitter (822034) – 200 Rounds

Hornady Outfitter is built for hunts in harsh country where ammunition has to survive weather and still perform. This listing is Hornady Outfitter 300 WSM 180 grain CX ammo, MPN 822034, sold as a 200 round bulk case for elk, deer, and backcountry hunters.

The CX (Copper Alloy eXpanding) bullet is a lead-free monolithic design with a polymer tip, built for high weight retention and deep penetration on big game. Outfitter ammunition is loaded in nickel-plated cases and sealed against moisture for reliable performance in rain and snow. Hornady rates this load at 2,900 fps with 3,361 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, a ballistic coefficient of .469, and a sectional density of .271.

The 300 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) fits short action bolt rifles such as the Winchester Model 70, Browning X-Bolt and A-Bolt, and other rifles chambered for it. It delivers near 300 Win Mag performance from a shorter, fatter case. A common question is whether 300 WSM ammo can be fired in a 300 Win Mag rifle, and the answer is no: the cases are completely different, so only use this ammo in a rifle stamped 300 WSM. Its short, wide case burns powder efficiently, so a 300 WSM rifle can be lighter and handier than a full-length magnum while still reaching elk and big game at long range, with more recoil than a 308 or 30-06. Because the CX is lead-free, this load also suits areas with non-lead requirements. A 200 round case covers practice and several trips.

Hornady Outfitter 822034 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each cartridge uses a nickel-plated brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive, and the boxer primed nickel-plated brass is reloadable for handloaders. Buying by the case also keeps you on one production lot, so point of impact and velocity stay consistent from box to box. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 300 WSM 180 grain CX (Copper Alloy eXpanding).
