We are at a crossroads. Do we introduce Hornady Superformance 30-06 Springfield ammo by pointing out how it is turbocharged? Or do we praise its high-tech lead-free hunting bullet? Guess we’ll just have to do both!
“Superformance” isn’t just a flashy moniker. It denotes this round’s special propellant, which produces an average muzzle velocity 80 fps higher than Hornady’s other 150 grain 30-06 hunting ammo. That extra boost pushes the bullet across a flatter trajectory and helps it hit harder: two welcome advantages while you’re contending against your next trophy.
The CX is a leadless bullet: monometal, though it’s a lot more than nontoxic. The inherent sturdiness of copper prevents the CX from shedding more than one-twentieth of its weight after striking. That enables the CX to couple deep penetration with great expansion. The CX is also an accurate little piece of lead-free ballistic hardware, being equipped with optimum groove geometry and a Heat Shield tip featuring Drag Variability Reduction Technology.
Hornady records 30-06 muzzle velocity with a 24” test barrel. They report this round’s G1 BC at 0.418. Without further adieu, here is our projected ballistic performance for this round (noting that variation is always a constant):
0yds: 3,080 fps | 3,160 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2,849 fps | 2,705 ft lbs | 3.6”
200yds: 2,631 fps | 2,306 ft lbs | 4.3”
300yds: 2,422 fps | 1,955 ft lbs | 0.0”
400yds: 2,224 fps | 1,647 ft lbs | -10.2”
500yds: 2,034 fps | 1,378 ft lbs | -27.5”
