The Hornady ECX™ (Extreme Copper alloy eXpanding) is a 30 calibre (.308") 165-grain monolithic copper alloy component projectile designed for handloaders in markets — including the UK — where lead-free or lead-restricted bullets are preferred or required. The one-piece copper alloy construction eliminates core-jacket separation, delivering consistently deep penetration and approximately 95% weight retention on impact. A flat polymer tip sits over a hollow cavity at the bullet's nose; on impact the tip drives back into the cavity, initiating uniform, reliable expansion across a broad velocity range. Optimised groove geometry on the shank reduces bearing surface friction and drag, helping maintain velocity downrange. Hornady designed the ECX specifically for international hunters and pays particular attention to compatibility with traditional European chamber dimensions and a variety of twist rates — making it well suited to bolt-action rifles commonly used for deer stalking in the UK. Sold as component bullets for handloading; no FAC required to purchase bullet heads in the UK.
