Product Overview
Best Uses for Hornady Outfitter .300 PRC 190gr CX Ammo
The Hornady Outfitter .300 PRC 190gr CX is engineered for hunters who demand reliable performance in the harshest environments imaginable. Featuring a solid copper CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet at 3000 fps with 3797 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load excels in wet, humid, and extreme temperature conditions where traditional ammunition may falter. The nickel-plated cases resist corrosion during extended backcountry expeditions, while the waterproof sealed primers ensure ignition regardless of exposure to the elements.
This ammunition is purpose-built for wilderness hunts in Alaska, the Canadian Rockies, coastal rainforests, and other challenging environments where ammunition reliability can mean the difference between success and failure. The monolithic copper bullet provides 95%+ weight retention on impact, driving through heavy bone and muscle to reach vital organs on elk, moose, and large bears. The lead-free design also makes it legal for use in California and other jurisdictions requiring non-toxic ammunition for hunting.
The Outfitter's combination of velocity, energy, and all-copper construction makes it an excellent choice for guides and professional hunters who need ammunition that performs after weeks in a wet pack or saddle scabbard. While the 0.575 G1 BC is lower than heavier match-style bullets, it remains more than adequate for ethical shots on big game within 600 yards, covering the vast majority of hunting scenarios even in open western terrain.
- Waterproof sealed primers and nickel-plated cases for extreme environment reliability
