Product Overview
Hornady's Superformance 90-grain CX is a copper .25-06 load made for medium game. The CX is a polymer-tipped solid copper bullet with no lead core, and at 90 grains it is among the lightest in the caliber. It leaves the muzzle at 3,350 fps with 2,243 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .273.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 9.9 inches at 300 and 23.8 inches at 400. Estimated recoil is the lightest of the loads compared bar Winchester's 85-grain Ballistic Silvertip.
If you're cross-shopping, Barnes' VOR-TX 100-grain TTSX BT is another copper bullet in the caliber, 125 fps slower on a higher G1 BC of .357, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 23.1 inches at 400. Winchester's 85-grain Ballistic Silvertip is faster still and from that zero drops 19.7 inches at 400.
- No lead in the bullet, so it is legal where lead ammunition is restricted
- About 15 percent less estimated recoil than Barnes' VOR-TX 100-grain TTSX BT
- The fastest copper load in the caliber at the muzzle
- The lowest G1 BC of the loads compared, with 824 ft-lbs at 400 yards against 1,083 for Barnes' VOR-TX 100-grain TTSX BT
- Nosler's Ballistic Tip 115-grain Spitzer is a heavier-bullet option, with 1,256 ft-lbs at 400 yards
