Description
Hornady’s Superformance Match in .223 Rem is built for precision rifle shooters who need consistent, high-velocity performance at the range or in competition. The 75-grain Boat Tail Hollow Point is on the heavier end of what .223 barrels are commonly asked to stabilize, which means it retains velocity and resists wind deflection better than lighter projectiles at extended distances — a meaningful advantage when shooting past 300 yards.
The Superformance line achieves its velocity gains through custom-blended propellants rather than simply running higher pressure. The result is a muzzle velocity of 2,930 fps from a standard-length barrel, which Hornady states runs 100–200 fps ahead of conventional loads using the same bullet weight. That added velocity flattens the trajectory and reduces the correction needed for wind calls, which matters most when shooting tight groups on paper or making consistent hits in highpower competition.
The BTHP design serves a specific purpose: the boat tail base reduces drag as the bullet transitions through the transonic zone, helping it stay stable at ranges where flat-base bullets tend to lose consistency. The hollow point nose, in this context, is a manufacturing feature that contributes to concentricity and uniform tip geometry rather than a terminal performance characteristic. This is match ammunition, optimized for accuracy and repeatability. Available in 20-round boxes and 200-round cases.
