Hornady CX .224 Caliber 70 Grain Monolithic Copper Alloy Expanding Reloading Bullets, Part Number 22813

Hornady CX .224 caliber 70 grain monolithic expanding reloading bullets are engineered for hunters and handloaders who want consistent terminal performance, reliable accuracy, and deep penetration. The CX, or Copper alloy eXpanding, bullet uses a lead-free construction designed to maintain a high percentage of its weight after impact while delivering controlled expansion across a broad range of hunting conditions. Its streamlined profile supports efficient downrange performance and helps maximize the capabilities of compatible .224 caliber rifle cartridges.
The optimized design combines a high ballistic coefficient with excellent structural integrity, making the Hornady CX a practical choice for extended-range hunting applications. The monolithic copper alloy construction offers dependable weight retention and helps the bullet drive deeply through vital tissue. Grooves in the shank help reduce friction and fouling while supporting consistent seating and reliable performance during the reloading process. The 70 grain weight provides a balanced option for handloaders developing loads for varmints, predators, and suitable medium-sized game where regulations and cartridge performance permit.
These Hornady reloading bullets are supplied as components only and are intended for use by experienced handloaders following established reloading data and safe loading practices. Always verify bullet diameter, cartridge compatibility, seating depth, and load data before assembly. The .224 caliber CX bullet is designed to provide repeatable results from carefully prepared ammunition, helping handloaders tune their rifles for accuracy and field performance. With its lead-free monolithic construction, high weight retention, and controlled expansion characteristics, Hornady Part Number 22813 offers a dependable component for precision-focused hunting loads.
