Hornady Copper alloy 90gr CX

[Bassfish1952]

The 90 gr CX is either near un-obtainable or unavailable thus far. While I see you claim to have obtained a box of 50 of the 90 gr CX bullets & if you have actually sourced a box more power to you. I have been scrounging for the .243 diameter 90 grain CX bullet for 6 months or so now & you are the only one I know of who claims to have seen the .243 diameter CX bullets available.

Point here is if the 90 GR CX bullet is an option. If the 90 GR CX bullet shoots accurate in your rifle, then in the Hornady all copper alloy bullet line up the 90 GR CX may be the better choice over the 80 GR CX IMHO.

I do question the wisdom in pigeonholing your load to 2900 FPS. I may follow a path more along the lines of seeking the most accurate loadI could work up between 2900 FPS & 3050 FPS.

Make no mistake Id prefer the 90 gr CX at the increased distance. Still, Id expect the 80 grain CX bullet to be quite adaquit as well out to 300 yards. See the YouTube review by Frontline rejects on the 80 gr CX bullet. Trouble with making a judgment on the 90 gr CX bullet is their is little to nearly no real life experience with the 90 grain cx offerings due to the simple fact they are so new, that they really have not made it to market yet for one reason or another.

No factory 90 grain CX ammo or components are out there yet that utilize the 90 gr CX offering even in the 6mm creedmoor.

On paper 90 gr CX bullet looks to offer more down range performance provided the barrel to be used in, has enough twist to stabilize the longer bullet, over the 80 grain CX. Ballistic coefficency advantages of the longer bullet along with the increased weight suggest the 90 gr CX bullet will offer more terminal performance at the longer distances. Real world experience is too close to non existent at this point for most of us thus far.

If you want a few , if I can work up 5 to each load that would be 20 and say 10 to hunt . That's 30 I have 20 left If you want 20 to play with I can send them to you .
Hopefully in the next year and a half more will be out there. I just ask that if you get some send me back the same as I sent you.
