Hornady Superformance 25 Creedmoor 112gr CX Rifle Ammo

Description

If you want a factory hunting load that actually stretches your effective range without breaking the bank on recoil, the Hornady Superformance 25 Creedmoor 112-grain CX is built for exactly that. This isn't just faster ammo for the sake of speed—it's engineered to give you practical advantages in the field. You get flatter holdovers, reduced wind drift, and more energy on target, but your rifle shoots the same, and so do you.

Hornady pairs their Superformance propellant technology with the CX monolithic bullet to hit that sweet spot. The propellants burn progressively to unlock that 100 to 200 fps velocity bump while staying within safe pressure limits, so there's no weird recoil spike or muzzle blast that ruins your day in the stand. The ammunition stays predictable across temperature swings too, so your zero holds whether you're hunting in October or January.

What Makes the CX Bullet Special

The 112-grain CX is a one-piece copper-alloy projectile engineered for modern hunting where precision matters. It carries a polymer tip that improves ballistic coefficient and helps the bullet slice through the air with less drop. Because it's a solid copper construction, the bullet retains weight on impact—we're talking around 95 percent weight retention—which means deep penetration and minimal deflection from bone and muscle. The grooves cut into the shank reduce barrel fouling and internal pressure while keeping the bullet aerodynamic, so the design works for both your rifle's health and your ballistics.

Performance You Can Count On

This load shoots to about 3150 fps from the muzzle with 2467 foot-pounds of energy. For the 25 Creedmoor platform, that's solid real-world performance for varmint-to-medium game work. The ammunition comes standard in 20-round boxes with quality brass cases and primers that show tight consistency. You'll notice group-to-group velocity spreads stay close, which matters when you're dialing for longer shots. Each box gives you hunting ammunition that treats you the same way—fast, flat, and repeatable.
