Hornady's Superformance CX represents the cutting edge of copper bullet technology. This 165-grain projectile defies conventional wisdom by achieving an impressive 2750 fps - speeds typically reserved for lighter bullets. Generating a massive 2771 ft-lbs of energy, it delivers magnum-level performance in a standard .308 Winchester package. The advanced polymer tip initiates rapid expansion while the monolithic copper construction ensures nearly 100% weight retention through thick hide and heavy bone.

In the field, this round proves particularly lethal on elk, moose, and bear where deep penetration is crucial. The copper construction carves tight wound channels while expanding to create massive terminal effect - without the fragmenting that often ruins meat with traditional lead-core bullets. It's especially effective for quartering shots where the bullet must navigate through heavy shoulder muscles before reaching vital organs. Plus, in states with lead ammunition restrictions, this load lets you hunt without compromise.

Beyond raw performance, this ammunition brings practical advantages to today's hunter. The lead-free design means no metal contamination in game meat - increasingly important for health-conscious outdoorsmen. You'll notice excellent accuracy across temperature extremes, thanks to the consistent expansion characteristics of copper. While premium ammunition isn't cheap, the performance justifies the investment when you're pursuing trophy game. After all, you can't put a price tag on confidence when that once-in-a-lifetime bull steps into your crosshairs.
