When you’re dialing in a rifle for hunting, precision shooting, or duty work, consistent velocity and low perceived recoil matter. The right ammunition can extend effective range, tighten groups, and make follow-up shots faster without adding punishment to the shooter or the firearm.

HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE

Shop this product to compare loadings and confirm fit for your rifle. The HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE line delivers a 100–200 fps velocity increase over conventional ammunition while avoiding the downsides shooters usually accept for more speed.

Why the performance gain matters

HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE achieves higher muzzle velocity through ultra progressive propellants that transfer usable energy to SST or GMX bullets without adding charge weight. That means you get flatter trajectories and higher retained energy downrange without the traditional trade-offs: no increase in felt recoil, muzzle blast, barrel wear, fouling, or temperature sensitivity. For field use this translates into improved terminal performance and more predictable ballistics across temperature ranges.

Key technical advantages

– Velocity: 100–200 fps faster than conventional loads, improving long-range point-of-impact and energy.

– Propellant technology: Specialized powders at normal charge weights reduce the “rocket nozzle” effect at the muzzle, so shooters feel less recoil while still gaining speed.

– Platform compatibility: Safe to use in semiautomatic, lever-action, and pump-action rifles—HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE was developed to work in every gun without sacrificing reliability.

Applications and real-world value

For hunters, that extra velocity tightens the window for hold-over and wind drift, and when paired with SST or GMX bullets the combination delivers consistent expansion and penetration. Precision shooters benefit from more kinetic energy on targets at extended ranges without an increase in recoil impulse that can disrupt follow-up shots. The product is listed under Rifle Ammo, brand Hornady, model Various and is priced at $45.99—an accessible way to upgrade the ballistic performance of your existing rifle and bullet choice.
