First Look: Hornady CX Outfitter Ammo
Hornady has reengineered its popular GMX projectile to be more accurate, aerodynamic and deadly. The new CX monolithic copper-alloy bullet sports a higher BC, and boasts devastating terminal performance with 95 percent weight retention.
Behind the Bullet: .270 Winchester Short Magnum
Loosely based on a shortened .404 Jeffery case with the rim rebated to the .535-inch case head of the H&H family, the .270 WSM was the third commercial cartridge using the .277-inch bore diameter, and betters the velocity of the .270 Winchester by 200 to 250 fps.
