Hornady Superformance 6mm Creedmoor 90gr CX – 20rd

Description

Hornady Superformance ammunition steps up your 6mm Creedmoor's game by delivering velocity increases of up to 200 fps without the pressure, recoil, or temperature sensitivity issues that typically come with faster loads. These rounds push a 90-grain CX bullet downrange at 3,325 fps—that's genuinely quick for a 90-grain bullet in this caliber.

The CX Bullet: Lead-Free Performance

The key difference in these loads is the bullet itself. Hornady's CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) is a monolithic copper-zinc construction that won't separate on impact. What matters for you in the field is 95% weight retention, consistent expansion, and deep penetration even at distance. The bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating, which sounds technical until you realize it means your ballistic coefficient stays consistent for the entire flight path. The side grooves reduce fouling and bearing surface, making this ammo easier on your barrel while still delivering accuracy.

Superformance Technology

The real magic is in Hornady's progressive propellant blend. Instead of maxing out pressure like other "enhanced" loads, Superformance achieves higher velocities through optimized burn rates. That translates to flatter trajectories and better energy retention downrange without the excessive recoil or temperature sensitivity you'd see with conventional magnum loads. These rounds perform consistently whether you're hunting in Texas heat or Montana cold.

Practical Use

This is ammunition built for 6mm Creedmoor rifles where shooters value the caliber's mild recoil and accuracy potential. Twenty rounds per box gives you a solid practice or hunting supply. Factory brass cases and quality primers mean components you can trust load after load.
