Deep Dive
Overview
This 22 Creedmoor ammo is for hunting medium game. The 65 grain weight and monolithic construction provide the deep penetration required for ethical harvests. It is suitable for rifles chambered in 22 Creedmoor that can stabilize a 65 grain projectile. Hunters use these rounds in areas requiring non-traditional, lead-free projectiles. The Heat Shield tip ensures a high ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories at extended ranges. The 3,650 fps velocity provides significant kinetic energy for various hunting environments.
History and Development
The Superformance line was developed by Hornady to usher in a new era of performance by using progressive propellants. These powders allow for increased velocity without increasing chamber pressure or felt recoil. The CX bullet represents the latest evolution of Hornady’s monolithic technology, replacing the previous GMX design. By utilizing a one-piece copper alloy, Hornady addresses the needs of hunters in lead-restricted regions. This 22 Creedmoor offering reflects Hornady's focus on modern, high-speed cartridges for the dedicated field sportsman.
