Hornady Superformance Varmint .22-250 Remington ammunition combines a lightweight 35-grain NTX projectile with Superformance propellant technology. Hornady states that Superformance Varmint loads can increase muzzle velocity by 100 to 200 fps over conventional ammunition without added chamber pressure. This is a manufacturer claim; real-world velocity and trajectory vary with rifle, barrel length, ammunition lot, and environmental conditions.hornady+1
The NTX, or Non-Toxic eXpanding, bullet is built with a frangible copper-alloy core, a hard polymer tip, and an AMP jacket. Hornady describes the bullet as a non-lead option for varmint hunting, including areas where non-lead projectiles are required. The polymer tip and streamlined profile are designed to support a flat trajectory, while the bullet construction is designed to fragment on impact.hornady+1
This Hornady 22-250 ammo is packaged in 20-round boxes. Hornady lists 10 boxes per case, for a standard case quantity of 200 rounds. If your store sells a 500-round package, state clearly that it is a retailer-created bundle of 25 boxes rather than a standard Hornady case.tractorsupply+1
