Hornady technician, ballastician, and communications guru Seth Swerczek joins us this episode, for an in-depth look at the new CX monometal bullet.
We discuss Hornady's old GMX bullet, and what makes the new CX different. Top terminal performance, increased aerodynamics, and a high accuracy standard set the CX apart.
Initial cartridge offerings and component bullets are detailed, along with tips for handloading the CX for best accuracy.
Additionally, we examine the meteoric rise of the recently introduced 6.5 PRC and the .300 PRC, discussing what it is about those cartridges that resonates with hunters.
Finally, Seth talks through Hornady's flagship ELD-X hunting bullet as well as traditional classics such as the Interlock and SST, defining what each is particularly good for.

0:00.0 | Of all the North American big game species, well there are a couple that are known for being hard to kill. |
0:08.0 | I don't have experience, personal experience with all of them, but I can tell you this, one of the toughest is a Moose. Now I don't |
0:16.8 | mean that Moose are really tenacious like say a grizzly or brown bear or a cape buffalo can be but they're so big |
0:26.8 | They have so much body mass and blood capacity in a slow nervous system. They just tend to be hard to kill quickly. |
0:36.0 | The most impressive kill I've ever seen on a moose was my big 2017 bull that I shot with a 375 caliber Hornity GMX bullet. I shot it at |
0:48.2 | 205 yards. That moose took two or three jumps forward and paused on the far side of an alder thicket. |
0:57.6 | I really wanted to shoot him again. I mean, man, that's one of my creeds is keep shooting until they're down right |
1:04.9 | But I couldn't because all I could see was this moose's nose and his brow times |
1:10.9 | protruding out the edge of that thicket but I could see clearly on each |
1:15.2 | side so I knew unless he turned and went straight away I had him and even if he |
1:20.2 | went straight away I had a a buddy off in the distance that this moves would probably encounter. |
1:26.7 | I felt good about the shot and as soon as I saw his antlers start to tip and sway to the |
1:31.9 | side and then he'd catch himself and write him I knew it was over and you know |
1:37.1 | felt like a minute but it was probably a matter of five or six seconds this giant bull reared straight up, towering so high I could see his head |
1:46.9 | and antlers clearly over the top of that, oh 12 or 14 foot high, alderthaca, and then crashed on his back. |
1:55.0 | Very impressive, one shot kill. |
1:57.0 | With a monomettle Hornity GMX bullet, |
2:00.0 | I've been really partial to that bullet for a lot of years. I've shot more game in Alaska |
2:06.2 | with it than all other bullets combined. Well it recently went through a major redesign and Hornity relaunched it as the CX bullet. |
2:18.1 | And today I have a good friend of mine on the line from Hornity. |
2:21.1 | This is Seth, you'll have to tell us how to pronounce your last name |
2:25.1 | correctly my friend, but Seth is in marketing and Hornity and I'm just |
