Hornady 6.5 Grendel 90gr CX Custom – 20 Rounds

Hornady's 6.5 Grendel load with the 90-grain CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet delivers monolithic construction and controlled expansion for AR-15 platform hunting. The all-copper bullet design meets lead-free requirements while maintaining deep penetration and high weight retention on medium game. Heat Shield tip resists in-flight aerodynamic heating, and the optimized bearing surface stabilizes in standard 1:8 or 1:9 twist barrels. This lighter projectile reaches higher velocities than traditional 123gr loads while keeping gas system pressures within AR-platform specs.

Designed for the AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel, this load uses Hornady brass and non-corrosive Boxer primers. The CX bullet's monolithic construction eliminates core-jacket separation, making it effective on deer-sized game at 6.5 Grendel's moderate velocities. Available in 20-round boxes or 200-round cases for range work and seasonal hunting prep.
