Hornady 223 Rem 50gr ECX International Rifle Ammunition

Hornady International rifle ammunition delivers match-grade accuracy and dependable terminal performance for hunters worldwide. Engineered for high reliability in popular hunting chamberings, this load pairs Hornady precision components with the non-lead ECX (Extreme Copper alloy eXpanding) projectile.

The monolithic one-piece copper alloy bullet is built to retain 95% or more of its original weight, ensuring deep penetration through heavy tissue and bone with minimal fragmentation. Its flat polymer tip drives backward into the frontal cavity upon impact to trigger uniform, immediate expansion.

Optimized groove geometry along the bullet shank significantly minimizes in-flight aerodynamic drag. This streamlined profile preserves downrange velocity, flattens trajectory, and transfers maximum kinetic energy directly to the target.
