The Hornady Superformance 6mm Creedmoor 90 Grain CX rifle ammunition represents a significant advancement in cartridge performance, engineered to optimize projectile velocity without compromising barrel life or shooter comfort. This load utilizes Hornady’s proprietary Superformance progressive propellants, meticulously formulated to achieve ballistic performance levels unattainable with conventional powders.
Key Features
Propellant Technology
Hornady Superformance ammunition integrates a specialized progressive propellant blend designed to achieve substantial velocity increases—up to 200 feet per second—compared to standard ammunition, without the associated increase in chamber pressure. This optimized propellant burn rate mitigates excess recoil, reduces muzzle blast, and minimizes temperature sensitivity, ensuring consistent performance across diverse environmental conditions. Furthermore, this formulation is engineered to reduce barrel fouling, preserving precision over extended firing sessions.
Projectile Design: 90 Grain CX
Each Superformance 6mm Creedmoor cartridge is loaded with the 90 grain CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet. The CX bullet is a monolithic, lead-free copper alloy projectile designed for deep penetration and high weight retention. Its streamlined profile and heat-shield tip optimize ballistic coefficient, enhancing downrange energy delivery and accuracy. The controlled expansion design ensures consistent terminal performance on target, making it suitable for a broad range of applications.
Performance Metrics
The Superformance system’s primary objective is to elevate muzzle velocity, resulting in flatter trajectories and increased effective range. This is achieved while maintaining safe operating pressures and delivering accuracy comparable to, or exceeding, conventional loadings. Shooters will observe enhanced downrange energy transfer and reduced wind deflection, contributing to improved hit probability at extended distances.
