The Hornady Outfitter Rifle Ammo 300 WSM 180 gr CX OTF delivers the reliability and terminal performance serious hunters demand, and if you're headed into the backcountry or glassing the back-forty this cartridge answers the call with purpose-built features; the Outfitter series pairs Hornady's Copper Alloy eXpanding (CX) OTF bullet for controlled expansion and deep penetration with nickel-plated, watertight-sealed cases that resist corrosion in wet, muddy, or salty conditions, while a 2900 fps muzzle velocity and roughly 3361 ft-lbs of energy provide the downrange power needed for large game at extended hunting ranges. As a United States-made load, this 300 Winchester Short Magnum offering balances sectional density and velocity to retain weight and energy on heavy-shouldered game, and its visual silver-and-copper finish simplifies cold-weather handling and identification in low light. Whether stalking elk, mule deer, or both from a mountain bench or tree line, the Outfitter line gives you consistent accuracy, dependable terminal performance, and weather-resistant durability that supports one-shot ethics and confident follow-up shots in rugged field conditions.
