Hornady Superformance

[walshie 2,804]

Anyone tried these yet? I've worked my way through a couple of boxes in 223 53gr. 3650fps. That's getting on for 22-250 velocity.

Hi walshie

I use these in my 223 with very good results .

At first my tikka would only group with home loads after trying others and then tried these and wasn't hoping for much but I was amazed how accurate they were and have accounted for many of fox.

They have my vote .

I couldn't get them to group (165 or 180 gr) at all in my 30-06 X bolt.

Just bought 2 boxes of them 53grn in .223, will be zeroing my new scope asap with them... Will post up the results

What are you using them for. If it's just for foxing out to 200 yards or so, I don't see any advantage over the cheaper stuff, as long as the cheaper stuff groups ok in your rifle. They are devastating on vermin though, probably not a good choice if you intend to eat anything you shoot with them. I tried the 40 grainers in my .223 Howa & they were no more accurate than Privvy, so decided to go with those as I don't reload.

IS this 22-250 velocity is good according to you?

Just be aware the claimed velocities hornady advertise don't always live up to expectations, especially in the .243 calibre where anything less than a .24" barrel will generally struggle.

 

I've chronoed the .243 58 g v max which are supposedly doing 3900 fops.

They were actually doing 3650................

 

.223 40 grain v max ( not superformance ) claims 3800 but actually delivers through a 20" barrel around 3670.

 

53 g superformance .................... Etc, etc etc,.

 

My advice is always chrono your ammo in your rifle to get a true indication of the energy and trajectory.

Use them in my 223 with good effects

Use them in my .22-250 very fast and accurate round. Gained a 1/4 inch on groupings over standard hornady vmax 55g. I now use Hornady superformance vmax 50g. Awesome round and yet to have a runner

[slipper 116]

how much are they Dan? do you get them from her in town

[shropshire dan 467]

No mate from West Mid shooting ground they are £29 a box but well worth it, got 6 foxes tonight with them mate. Closest yards and longest 310 yards no holdover for any
