20rds – 223 Rem Hornady Superformance 50gr. CX Ammo

Hornady Ammunition 50 Grain CX Ammo Details

Huntable critters had better take cover when you show up with the 223 rifle (or 5.56 rifle, depending on your preference). You’re packing the power of Hornady Superformance, loaded with lead-free Copper alloy eXpanding (CX) projectiles!

“Superformance” isn’t just a clever fusion of words. It’s the name of this ammo’s propellant, which ups the ante by raising muzzle velocity up to 200 fps higher than normal. Despite that boostage, increased recoil, temperature sensitivity, and chamber pressure are not in the cards!

Are you going hunting where lead bullets are banned? Imagine how infantilizing it would feel, to be told by a game warden that you are doing something bad and have your rifle confiscated. Pshaw! Better choose CX bullets for hunting in such places. They won’t get you in trouble.

But nontoxicity is only one of the CX’s many talents! It is an extraordinarily accurate bullet: flat-shooting as all get out at 50 grains, and aerodynamic courtesy of its drag-equalizing Heat Shield polymer tip, which doesn’t deform while it’s roasted by air friction. The CX’s tip also triggers wide expansion, which is accompanied by the high weight retention and deep penetration like only a tough monolithic can provide.
