Hornady 375 Cal 250gr CX

The Hornady 375 Cal 250gr CX is a high-performance monolithic bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking lead-free construction, controlled expansion, and deep penetration in .375-caliber rifles. Weighing 250 gr with a .375‑inch diameter, the 375 Cal 250gr CX utilizes Hornady’s Copper eXpanding (CX) all-copper alloy design to retain over 95% of its mass and deliver reliable terminal results on large game such as elk, moose, and bear.

Featuring a Heat Shield® polymer tip, refined secant ogive, and boat-tail base, the 375 Cal 250gr CX achieves an elevated ballistic coefficient and flat trajectory when fired between 2,700 and 2,900 fps in cartridges like .375 H&H Magnum and .375 Ruger. This aerodynamic profile enhances downrange velocity retention, reduces wind drift, and supports precise shot placement out to extended ranges.

Constructed as a one-piece copper bullet, the 375 Cal 250gr CX resists jacket-core separation and fragmentation, ensuring uniform expansion and deep wound channels through dense muscle and heavy hide. Hunters report that the 375 Cal 250gr CX delivers consistently ethical terminal performance, with predictable mushrooming and minimal deformation even through bone.

The 375 Cal 250gr CX stabilizes effectively in barrels with typical twist rates of 1:10 to 1:12 and feeds smoothly in bolt-action, magazine, and single-shot platforms. Its concentric jacket and polished ogive support precise seating, reliable cycling, and repeatable point-of-impact. Reloaders appreciate that the 375 Cal 250gr CX offers consistent accuracy and dependable field performance across varied load recipes.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 375 Cal 250gr CX is sold as a bullet component only and must be paired with appropriate brass, powder, and primers. With strict quality control over tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and weight consistency, the 375 Cal 250gr CX stands as a top-tier monolithic option for hunters demanding lead-free performance, ethical terminal behavior, and precision in the .375-caliber class.
