Product Overview
Hornady Superformance Varmint 35-grain NTX is a polymer-tipped .22-250 Remington load made for hunting, with no game class named for it. At 35 grains it is the lightest bullet in the caliber. It leaves the muzzle at 4,450 fps with 1,539 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .177.
Zeroed at 200 yards it drops 4.1 inches at 300 and 13.4 inches at 400. From a 100-yard zero the drop at 400 is 15.5 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington's UMC 45-grain JHP is the next lightest bullet, a plain hollow point starting at 4,000 fps on a G1 BC of .173. Barnes' VOR-TX 50-grain TSX is a copper bullet with no lead core, 620 fps slower at the muzzle.
- The fastest start of any .22-250 Remington load
- The least drop at 400 yards in the caliber, from either zero
- About 30 percent less estimated recoil than Remington's UMC 45-grain JHP in the same rifle
- The least muzzle energy of the light-bullet loads in the caliber
- Only Remington's UMC JHP comes near it on bullet weight, so the caliber offers little else this light
