Default Hornady CX

Noticed a bunch of these in stock. Usually shoot Barnes Vortx but was wondering how these perform? The specs say 130 Grain CX 1” flatter shooting to 500 vs Barnes 130 Grain. I love Barnes performance but they are hard to find

Buy em buddy. You are hunting not target shooting! They will work great is my guess.

You're looking for just bullets or factory ammo gb? Cabelas west Edm had pretty decent inventory of Barnes bullets when I was there last Thursday. 130gr in .277 is what you need?

I don't live very far away from that Cabelas and could probably grab somd fof you if still on the shelf. P&D usually has pretty good Barnes bullet inventory too.

I don’t reload and have had great luck with factory ammo as I keep most of my shots within 200 yards so
Factory loaded, I have a decent stash of Barnes but the way things are going I’m
Looking for options too I’d we have another run like the last bit.

Thanks a lot for the offer though it’s much appreciated!

Don’t trust the boxes for the trajectories or velocities

I bought a couple boxes of 150gr 7mm rem mag. Got out to shoot them today to see how they’d group. They were aweful, and this is in a rifle that’s generally not that picky. Going to give the barrel a good clean and give them another go one evening here again. As far as bullet performance, there isn’t a lot of reviews out there yet.
