We talk with Hornady Marketing Director Neil Davies about the differences between the CX and ECX bullets and what perhaps is the best option for different scenarios when stalking here in the UK and in Europe.
Shocked to hear a Hornady rep flippantly downplaying the move to non-toxic bullets for game! Yeah, it costs more, but knowing you can safely feed your family and also know you’re not poisoning raptors off the gut piles, sounds like a win - win! Been using Barnes very successfully for a while now and was looking forward to trying the CX. After hearing his remarks, I may not bother!
What a shameful perspective shared by Mr. Davies. I, like so many, chose long ago to switch to non-lead specifically because of the lead consumption issue and it’s effects on scavengers and potentially my family. It had nothing to do with laws and regulations and the performance benefits were a nice addition. You represent one of the biggest and best companies in the gun world and you non only missed a real opportunity to explain the motivation to go non-lead but you disregarded the benefits and purpose of non-lead. This ignorant perspective is the very reason governments choose to implement a non-lead regulation over hunters simply advocating for doing the right thing. In other words, you’re ignorant opinion is what gives hunters restrictive regulation and poor optics in the ammunition realm. If you are going to be a public figure then act like one. I am a hunter and I will not allow my ability to choose ammo to be impacted by other hunters with their heads in the sand, especially a munitions marketing director.
