Hornady Superformance Varmint .22-250 Remington 35gr NTX ammunition represents the ultimate expression of high-velocity varmint hunting. The lead-free NTX bullet achieves an astonishing 4,450 fps muzzle velocity, the fastest in this .22-250 lineup. This ultralight, ultra-fast projectile is engineered for explosive terminal performance on the smallest varmints, delivering instant energy transfer that is devastating on prairie dogs and ground squirrels.

The NTX bullet is California-compliant for use in condor zones and other areas requiring non-toxic ammunition. Made from a compressed copper-tin powdered metal core with a polymer tip, the bullet fragments completely without leaving lead in the environment. Hunters and ranchers concerned about secondary poisoning of wildlife will find this ammunition allows effective pest control while meeting regulatory requirements and environmental responsibilities.

Hornady's Superformance propellant technology achieves these exceptional velocities without excessive pressure, running safely in standard .22-250 chambers. The flat trajectory makes range estimation less critical, and the fast time of flight minimizes the need for lead on moving targets. For shooters in lead-free zones or those who simply want the fastest, most explosive varmint load available, the 35gr NTX delivers unmatched performance at moderate ranges where its low ballistic coefficient is not a limiting factor.
