Product Overview
Hornady Superformance pushes the 117 grain SST to 3,110 feet per second—roughly 100 fps faster than conventional loads of similar weight. That velocity boost comes without increased pressure, thanks to progressive propellants engineered specifically for this line. Muzzle energy reaches 2,513 foot-pounds, and the .390 ballistic coefficient keeps the bullet flying true at distance.
The SST design combines a sharp polymer tip with a secant ogive profile for improved aerodynamics. Inside, the InterLock ring prevents jacket-core separation while a cannelure helps the bullet survive feeding from box magazines. This ammunition runs reliably through bolt actions, lever guns, and semi-autos chambered in .25-06.
Hunters gain meaningful ballistic advantages from the extra velocity. Point-blank range extends, wind drift decreases, and retained energy at 300+ yards climbs compared to standard loads. For whitetail hunters taking shots across agricultural fields or western hunters glassing for mule deer, Superformance delivers performance closer to handloading results without the reloading bench time.
- Progressive propellants deliver 100+ fps velocity advantage over conventional loads without pressure increase
- The 3,110 fps velocity with 117 grain SST extends point-blank range and reduces wind drift
- InterLock construction prevents jacket-core separation during expansion
- Widely available at sporting goods retailers and online ammunition dealers
- Higher velocity may cause excessive fragmentation on close-range impacts under 100 yards
- Premium pricing for the velocity advantage compared to standard American Whitetail loads
- Not a bonded bullet—may not match Federal Fusion penetration on heavy quartering shots
