Unleash Extreme Velocity and Precision: Hornady Superformance Varmint 22-250 Rem 35 gr NTX Ammunition

Are you a serious varmint hunter seeking an unparalleled edge in speed, accuracy, and ethical performance? Do you need high-velocity ammunition that complies with lead-free regulations without compromising terminal effectiveness? For discerning shooters who demand the absolute best from their 22-250 Remington rifle, the Hornady Superformance Varmint 22-250 Rem 35 gr Non Traditional eXpanding (NTX) ammunition stands as the definitive choice. This specialized loading, available at DEGuns, is engineered to transform your varmint hunting experience, delivering blistering muzzle velocities, flat trajectories, and devastating on-target results that put elusive small game animals down quickly and humanely.

Why Choose Hornady Superformance Varmint Ammunition for Your 22-250 Rem?

In the world of varmint hunting, speed and precision are paramount. Whether you're targeting wily coyotes at extended ranges, decimating prairie dog colonies, or taking down nuisance groundhogs, every shot counts. The Hornady Superformance Varmint line is meticulously crafted to give you the upper hand. But what exactly makes this ammunition so effective, and who is it designed for?

• For the Velocity Enthusiast: If you crave raw speed, Hornady's Superformance technology delivers. Expect 100 to 200 feet per second (fps) faster muzzle velocity compared to traditional ammunition, often without an increase in felt recoil or muzzle blast. This translates directly into a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift, making those challenging long-range shots more achievable.
• For the Environmentally Conscious Hunter: With increasing regulations requiring lead-free ammunition in certain areas (such as many public lands), the NTX (Non Traditional eXpanding) bullet is your ethical and compliant solution. This lead-free projectile ensures you can hunt responsibly while still achieving rapid, humane kills.
• For the Precision Shooter: Hornady is synonymous with accuracy. The Superformance Varmint line, featuring the 35-grain NTX bullet, is engineered for tight groups and consistent shot placement, critical for dispatching small, fast-moving targets.
• For Versatile Firearm Owners: This ammunition is rigorously tested and proven safe for use in all action types, including semi-automatic rifles. This universal compatibility means you can confidently load your favorite 22-250 Rem rifle, regardless of its action.

The Superformance Advantage: Unpacking Unprecedented Velocity

One of the most compelling reasons to choose Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition is its namesake technology. How does Hornady achieve such significant velocity gains—specifically an impressive 4450 feet per second (fps) muzzle velocity with the 35-grain NTX bullet—without increasing chamber pressure? This is a proprietary blend of propellants that optimize the burn rate to achieve peak performance. The result is a ballistic marvel that offers several distinct advantages for the varmint hunter:

• Flatter Trajectories: Higher velocity means the bullet spends less time in the air, resulting in a flatter trajectory. This simplifies holdover calculations, especially at extended ranges, and reduces the margin for error.
• Reduced Wind Drift: A faster bullet is less susceptible to the effects of crosswinds. This is crucial when shooting small targets like prairie dogs or coyotes, where even a slight gust can push your shot off target.
• Increased Effective Range: With a higher velocity, the bullet retains more energy downrange, extending your effective hunting distance while maintaining lethal terminal performance.
• Quicker Target Acquisition: The reduced time of flight means less lead is required on moving targets, making follow-up shots faster and more instinctive.

When every second and every inch counts, the Superformance advantage puts you squarely in control of your hunting scenario.

The NTX Lead-Free Bullet: Ethical Performance, Devastating Results

The 35-grain NTX (Non Traditional eXpanding) bullet is the heart of this ammunition's innovative design. Crafted without lead, this bullet addresses the growing need for environmentally friendly hunting solutions, but it does so without compromising the effectiveness Hornady is known for. What are the key characteristics and benefits of the NTX bullet?

• Lead-Free Composition: Constructed from a gilding metal jacket and a polymer tip, the NTX bullet is 100% lead-free, making it compliant with regulations in areas like California and other regions requiring non-toxic ammunition for hunting. This allows you to hunt responsibly on public and private lands where such restrictions apply.
• Rapid, Violent Fragmentation: Upon impact, the NTX bullet is designed for rapid and dramatic fragmentation. This immediate energy transfer creates a wide wound channel, ensuring swift and humane dispatch of varmints. Unlike some solid copper bullets, the NTX is engineered for maximum disruption within the target.
• Reduced Ricochet Hazards: Due to its design for rapid fragmentation, the NTX bullet significantly reduces the risk of ricochet, enhancing safety in various hunting environments, particularly those with hard surfaces or where collateral damage is a concern.
• Superior Accuracy: Despite its unique construction, the NTX bullet maintains Hornady's legendary accuracy standards. Its streamlined profile and consistent manufacturing ensure precise flight paths and tight groups, critical for pinpoint accuracy on small varmints.

The synergy of the NTX bullet's design with Superformance technology results in a round that not only meets modern environmental standards but also sets a new benchmark for varmint hunting terminal performance.

The Versatility of the 22-250 Remington Cartridge

The 22-250 Remington has long been celebrated as a quintessential varmint cartridge, revered for its flat trajectory, moderate recoil, and devastating effectiveness on small game. Hornady's Superformance Varmint ammunition elevates this already popular cartridge to new heights. Here's why the 22-250 Rem, paired with this specialized Hornady loading, is an ideal choice for a variety of hunting applications:

• Primary Applications:
  • Coyote Hunting: The extreme velocity and rapid fragmentation of the 35 gr NTX bullet make it an outstanding choice for coyotes, ensuring quick, clean kills even at extended distances. The flat trajectory minimizes holdover in dynamic hunting situations.
  • Prairie Dog Shooting: For those seeking high-volume shooting on prairie dog towns, the precision and speed of this ammunition allow for rapid engagements and impressive accuracy, making the most of every shot.
  • Fox and Bobcat Hunting: The quick, humane dispatch provided by the NTX bullet is ideal for furbearers where pelt integrity might be a consideration, as it minimizes pass-through damage while delivering a devastating blow.
  • Groundhog/Woodchuck Eradication: For agricultural protection or nuisance animal control, this round offers the power and precision needed to humanely remove groundhogs from fields and pastures.
• Ballistic Performance at a Glance:
  • Muzzle Velocity: 4450 fps. This is exceptionally fast, ensuring minimal bullet drop and wind deflection out to significant ranges.
  • Muzzle Energy: 1539 ft lbs. This substantial energy transfer upon impact guarantees effective and humane kills on small to medium-sized varmints.
  • Bullet Weight: 35 grains. The light bullet weight contributes to the blistering velocity, making it ideal for rapid fragmentation and energy dump on soft tissue.
  • Casing Material: High-quality brass, offering excellent consistency and reliability for consistent feeding and extraction, and it's reloadable for those who practice handloading.

This ammunition is truly engineered for optimal results across all firearms chambered in 22-250 Remington, providing reliable performance whether you're using a bolt-action, single-shot, or semi-automatic rifle.

Beyond the Numbers: Real-World Performance and Hunter Confidence

What does 4450 fps actually mean in the field? It means less guesswork. It means more confident shots. When you're facing a coyote at 300 yards or a prairie dog popping up at 150 yards, the flatter trajectory of the Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition significantly reduces the need for complex ballistic calculations. This allows hunters to focus more on shot placement and less on compensating for bullet drop. The rapid energy dump of the 35 gr NTX bullet ensures that varmints are anchored quickly, minimizing tracking and maximizing humane harvests. This level of performance fosters incredible confidence in the field, allowing you to maximize your hunting opportunities and enjoy a more successful outing.

Hornady's commitment to quality control means that every box of Superformance Varmint ammunition is manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring consistent performance from round to round, box to box. This consistency is vital for maintaining tight groups and predictable ballistics, which are non-negotiable for serious varmint hunters.
