Hornady 300 RUM 180gr CX Ammo
Hornady 300 RUM 180gr CX Ammo is premium hunting ammunition for rifles chambered in .300 Remington Ultra Magnum. Hornady’s Outfitter load pairs a 180-grain CX copper-alloy expanding bullet with a nickel-plated, sealed case designed to provide added protection against moisture and corrosion in demanding hunting conditions.
The .300 Remington Ultra Magnum is also known as the .300 RUM, 300 Rem Ultra Mag, and 300 Ultra Mag. This ammunition must only be used in a rifle chambered specifically for .300 Remington Ultra Magnum. It is not interchangeable with .300 Winchester Magnum, .300 PRC, .300 Weatherby Magnum, .300 WSM, or .30-06 Springfield.
Hornady lists this Outfitter load at a muzzle velocity of 3,200 fps and muzzle energy of 4,096 ft-lb. Published velocity and energy figures are reference values; performance varies according to barrel length, individual chamber dimensions, atmospheric conditions, ammunition lot, and other field variables.
Hornady Outfitter .300 Remington Ultra Magnum ammunition
Hornady Outfitter ammunition is intended for hunters who may encounter wet weather, temperature swings, dust, and remote travel. This .300 RUM load uses corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass cases with a sealed primer and case mouth to help limit moisture exposure during storage, transport, and field use.
The 180-grain CX is a lead-free, monolithic copper-alloy bullet with a polymer tip. Hornady describes the CX design as providing controlled expansion, deep penetration, and high retained bullet weight under suitable impact conditions. The bullet’s monolithic construction makes it a practical option for hunters in areas where non-lead ammunition is required, although hunters should always confirm current rules for their exact hunting unit, season, species, and land manager.
