If you’re trying to get the lead out of your 308 Win hunting ammunition, then Hornady Superformance is all you need. This round’s CX projectile comprises two materials only: copper alloy, and polymer.
Its monolithic body does a lot more than make the CX nontoxic. It also reduces fouling, and ensures 95% (or greater) weight retention – the key to a long wound column.
The CX’s polymer tip is a Heat Shield: made of polymer that doesn’t warp or deform while air friction cooks it, with a special Drag Variability Reduction Technology meplat that increases overall drag uniformity. In conjunction with a 24” barrel, the 165 grain 0.440 G1 BC CX pulls these numbers:
0yds: 2,750 fps | 2,771 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2,546 fps | 2,376 ft lbs | 4.7”
200yds: 2,352 fps | 2,027 ft lbs | 5.5”
300yds: 2,166 fps | 1,718 ft lbs | 0.0”
400yds: 1,988 fps | 1,448 ft lbs | -12.9”
500yds: 1,820 fps | 1,213 ft lbs | -34.7”
600yds: 1,662 fps | 1,012 ft lbs | -67.0”
The CX won’t just hit with quadruple-digit energy within 600 yards. It’ll also combine deep penetration with great expansion. That’ll tuck the quarry into bed real quick.
This isn’t just any Hornady ammo! This is Hornady Superformance ammo, which increases muzzle velocity by up to 200 fps without sacrificing any other aspects of performance.
