Product Overview
Core Performance Attributes
The Hornady Superformance CX .270 Winchester rifle ammunition is engineered for enhanced terminal performance and a flatter trajectory. This load leverages Superformance progressive propellants to deliver a significant velocity increase—up to 200 feet per second—over conventional ammunition. This performance enhancement is achieved without generating increased chamber pressure, felt recoil, or muzzle blast. This propellant technology is designed to maintain consistent ballistic performance across a broad temperature range and minimizes barrel fouling, preserving the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential.
Bullet Construction: CX (Copper alloy eXpanding)
The Superformance line integrates the advanced CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet. This monometallic, lead-free projectile is designed for deep penetration and controlled expansion across a wide velocity spectrum. Its Heat Shield® tip resists aerodynamic heating and retains its form, ensuring a high ballistic coefficient and flatter trajectory for extended ranges. The uniform expansion profile of the CX bullet consistently delivers energy transfer into the target, promoting decisive results. This ammunition is developed for experienced shooters and hunters demanding optimized long-range capability and reliable terminal effects from their .270 Winchester platform.
