Looking for the *perfect* lead-free .308 Win ammunition for your upcoming whitetail/boar/whatever hunt? Then your search has bore fruit. You’ve located the Hornady Superformance.
“Superformance” isn’t a meaningless brand name. It refers to the round’s special propellant, which accelerates its 165 grain bullet to a muzzle velocity up to 200 fps faster than usual. Even more remarkably, this boost isn’t accompanied by added chamber pressure, recoil, or accuracy loss. It doesn’t increase fouling, muzzle blast or temperature sensitivity, either!
The “C” in “CX” stands for “Copper alloy.” The lead-free bullet is A-OK for hunting where lead bullets are prohibited. It reduces fouling of the barrel, too. The CX’s lack of any flaws in its weight distribution grants it superior rotational balance. Its Heat Shield tip provides the perfect low-drag meplat, and retains its shape regardless of how aerodynamic friction treats it. The “X” in its name stands for “eXpanding,” which the CX fully delivers whilst its rugged body simultaneously ensures as little as 95% weight retention.
Hornady’s own ballistics testing reveals that this round exhibits .440 G1 BC in conjunction with a 24” test barrel. That stands for this trajectory, approximately: 0yds: -1.5” → 100yds: 2.0” → 200yds: 0.0” → 300yds: -8.2” → 400yds: -23.9” → 500yds: -48.4”.
