Hornady's Superformance .30-06 Springfield 150 grain CX ammunition brings precision engineering to your rifle. This load uses proprietary progressive propellants to push the 150 grain monolithic copper alloy bullet to a muzzle velocity of 3080 fps, delivering up to 200 fps faster performance than standard factory loads without the penalties that usually come with hot loads. The difference is in the powder chemistry. Rather than spiking pressure suddenly like conventional propellants, Superformance powders burn progressively, maintaining consistent pressure through a longer curve. This means you get genuine velocity gains while staying within SAAMI pressure guidelines and experiencing only slightly more felt recoil than standard loads.
The 150 grain CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet is a monolithic copper projectile with no lead core, making it ideal for areas with lead ammunition restrictions. It features Hornady's Heat Shield polymer tip that resists aerodynamic heating to maintain a consistent ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's entire flight path. The copper construction combined with grooved shank geometry maximizes aerodynamic efficiency while reducing fouling. Once it reaches the target, you get reliable expansion, deep penetration, and approximately 95 percent weight retention. That retained weight ensures the bullet drives deep through ribs and bone to reach vital organs on medium to large game.
The velocity advantage translates into real-world benefits. A flatter trajectory means less holdover at distance, and the retained energy downrange improves terminal performance on deer, elk, and similar game. Wind drift becomes less problematic because the bullet spends less time floating through the air. Quality brass cases and reliable primers ensure consistent performance across temperature extremes, from cold early mornings to hot afternoon hunts. Each box contains 20 rounds of reloadable ammunition, making it practical for both hunting seasons and target work.
Yes. Hornady Superformance ammunition operates safely within SAAMI pressure guidelines, even though it delivers 100-200 fps more velocity than standard factory loads. The technology achieves this through progressive propellants that work more efficiently, not by exceeding safe pressure limits. It functions reliably in all rifle types including semi-automatics, lever-action, and pump-action firearms.
The CX is a monolithic copper design with no lead core, making it lead-free and suitable for restricted hunting areas. The Heat Shield polymer tip maintains consistent aerodynamics throughout flight, and the copper construction combined with strategically placed grooves maximizes ballistic performance while delivering excellent accuracy. It retains 95% of its original weight for reliable deep penetration.
You may experience slightly more felt recoil than standard factory loads due to the increased velocity, but significantly less recoil than other high-velocity ammunition like Light Magnum loads that achieve similar speeds. The progressive propellant technology keeps the increase minimal while delivering the velocity advantage.
Yes. The 3080 fps muzzle velocity and aerodynamic CX bullet design deliver a flatter trajectory and better energy retention at extended ranges. The Heat Shield tip maintains ballistic coefficient consistency throughout flight, and the 150 grain weight is effective on medium to large game like deer and elk out to reasonable hunting distances.
