For shooters who demand match-grade performance at extended ranges, ammunition selection is as critical as the rifle and optics. Consistent velocity, tight groups, and minimized wind drift separate good ammo from great ammo on the firing line.

Overview: What the load offers

Built by Hornady, HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE MATCH is a 5.56 NATO load engineered for higher muzzle velocity, phenomenal accuracy, increased range, and reduced wind drift. Topped with a 75-grain boat tail hollow point match bullet, this offering combines premium cartridge cases with custom-blended propellants tailored to each load for true ammunition performance enhancement. The product comes 20 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case and is priced competitively at $27.99 for a boxed quantity.

Ballistics and Accuracy

Velocity and wind performance

The Superformance propellant chemistry aims to push this 75-grain projectile at elevated muzzle velocities relative to standard 5.56 loads. Increased velocity directly reduces flight time, which lowers wind drift and helps maintain hit probability at longer ranges. For precision shooters, that translates into fewer adjustments and more consistent group placement at 300–600 yards.

Bullet design and stability

The boat tail hollow point match bullet provides an optimal ballistic coefficient for a 75-grain profile—improving downrange stability and reducing sensitivity to crosswinds. That makes this load well-suited for both precision training and competitive applications where repeatable performance matters.

Practical Use and Fit

As a 5.56 NATO load from Hornady with model variants identified as Various, HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE MATCH fits AR-platform rifles and bolt guns chambered for 5.56 NATO. Expect reliable cycling with quality brass and clean, metered performance from the custom propellant blend. For those managing inventory or stocking range boxes, the 20-count packaging and case quantities streamline logistics.
