Hornady 375 250gr CX Bullets

Hornady 375 250gr CX Bullets are designed for hunters who want a lead-free projectile with strong penetration, high weight retention and efficient flight. The 250 grain CX combines Hornady’s one-piece copper-alloy construction with a streamlined profile and Heat Shield® tip. As a result, it provides a high-performance option for demanding .375 calibre hunting applications.

Why Choose Hornady 375 250gr CX Bullets?

The Hornady 375 250gr CX combines substantial bullet weight with aerodynamic efficiency. Its 0.403 G1 BC and 0.203 G7 BC help the bullet retain velocity as distance increases. In addition, the .254 sectional density supports the bullet’s heavy-for-calibre design and penetration potential.

Furthermore, the CX uses a one-piece copper-alloy construction rather than a conventional lead-core design. Hornady’s CX design provides over 95% weight retention, helping the bullet maintain its mass during expansion. Therefore, it is well suited to hunters who place a high value on penetration and retained bullet weight.

The Heat Shield® tip also supports the streamlined profile. As a result, the bullet combines aerodynamic efficiency with the terminal characteristics expected from a monolithic hunting projectile.

Key Features of Hornady 375 250gr CX Bullets

• 250 grain bullet weight
• .375″ bullet diameter
• 0.403 G1 ballistic coefficient
• 0.203 G7 ballistic coefficient
• 0.254 sectional density
• CX® lead-free hunting bullet

In addition, the combination of a 250 grain projectile, .375″ diameter and .254 sectional density gives this CX a substantial hunting profile. The aerodynamic design then helps make better use of that bullet weight at longer distances.

Hunting Applications

The 250gr CX is suited to hunters looking for a heavy, lead-free .375 calibre projectile. Its weight, sectional density and high weight retention make it particularly relevant to demanding hunting applications where penetration is an important consideration.

Furthermore, the .403 G1 BC helps the bullet retain velocity downrange. This can be useful when hunting in open terrain or when longer shots are possible. At the same time, the 250 grain weight provides substantial mass for suitable game.

For South African hunting, the bullet can be considered for appropriate applications involving larger game, including kudu, eland and other suitable game where the cartridge, rifle and load provide the required performance.

However, hunters should always match the bullet to the specific cartridge and rifle. Impact velocity, shot placement and the intended game species should also be considered when selecting a hunting projectile.

Hornady CX for .375 Hunting Applications

The Hornady CX design gives the 250gr projectile a combination of lead-free construction, aerodynamic performance and high weight retention. In particular, the .403 G1 BC and .203 G7 BC provide useful ballistic efficiency for a .375 calibre hunting bullet.

Meanwhile, the one-piece copper-alloy construction retains over 95% of the bullet’s weight. This supports deep penetration while the CX design provides controlled expansion.

In addition, the Heat Shield® tip helps maintain the bullet’s streamlined profile. As a result, the 250gr CX offers hunters a useful balance of bullet weight, penetration and aerodynamic performance.

For hunters seeking a lead-free .375 projectile with substantial weight and high retained mass, the 250gr CX is a particularly relevant option.
