Varmint hunting demands ammunition that combines velocity, flat trajectory, and reliable terminal performance. When targets are small, distant, or exposed to wind, every foot per second and every inch of drift matters. Effective varmint rounds let you engage with confidence and reduce follow-up shots—especially important when pest control needs to be humane and efficient.

HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE VARMINT delivers the speed and terminal effects varmint shooters expect from Hornady’s Superformance propellant technology. This 223 Remington load uses a 35-grain NTX polymer-tipped bullet designed for match-level accuracy and rapid fragmentation on impact. The Superformance propellant increases muzzle velocity by 100–200 feet per second over standard loads, translating to a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift at extended ranges.

Key features and why they matter

HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE VARMINT is engineered for performance:

High velocity for flatter trajectories

The Superformance propellant provides consistent 100–200 fps gains, which tightens point-of-aim to point-of-impact relationships at common varmint distances. That extra speed shortens time-of-flight and reduces environmental effects on the bullet.

Polymer-tipped NTX bullet

The 35-grain NTX tip improves ballistic coefficient and ignition consistency for match-like groups. On impact the polymer tip initiates controlled fragmentation, producing effective terminal results on small targets while minimizing unnecessary pass-through.

Safe across action types

Loads are pressure-tested and specified for safe use in all action types, including semiautomatic rifles—important if your varmint rig is a lightweight semi that needs reliable cycling without overpressure concerns.

Packaging is practical for range and field use: 20 rounds per box and 10 boxes per case give you a ready supply for extended trips or multi-day pest management. Priced at $29.99, this 223 Remington load balances performance and value for shooters who need purpose-built varmint ammunition. View product details and pricing

Field applications and load selection

Use HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE VARMINT for long-range prairie dog work, open-field coyote control, or situations where precision and clean terminal performance reduce follow-up shots. Pair it with a well-tuned 223 Remington barrel and a quality optic to maximize the ballistic advantages of the NTX bullet and higher muzzle velocity. Check current availability

For varmint shooters who demand speed, predictable fragmentation, and compatibility with semiautos, HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE VARMINT is a focused option that delivers measurable ballistic benefits and practical packaging for field use. Shop this product
