90 gr CX
#14
Picked up, a fair number of the Mid south 90 grain all copper factory 2nds that look very similar to the 90 grain CX for load work up. CFE 223 worked out to be a favorite propellant for this application. Expecting the primery difference in these bullets vs the 90 grain CX may be cosmetic. Frequently Hornady bullets may look almost too nice to shoot in terms of the finish on the bullets is looking similar to a shiny pice of jewelry. Not at all the case with these factory 2nds.

Tried the bullets similar to the 90 GR CX, factory 2nds on filling 2 whitetail antlerless tags this fall with a 22" barrel bolt action 6mm ARC. Shot placement on both deer happened to be heart shot. So no suprise that lethality left little to be desired. The terminal bullet path was quite adequate. Each deer stumbled/ran roughly 40 yards before coming to a stop. Exit wounds was larger than expected in with both deer.
