Product Overview
Hornady's Superformance CX load launches a 90 grain copper alloy bullet at 3,350 feet per second. That blistering speed generates 2,243 foot-pounds of energy while delivering the flattest trajectory available in factory .25-06 ammunition. The all-copper CX bullet meets lead-free requirements without sacrificing the terminal performance hunters expect.
The CX bullet improves on earlier monolithic designs with optimized grooves that reduce barrel fouling and pressure. Upon impact, the bullet peels back into controlled petals while retaining nearly all its original weight. This mechanical expansion creates consistent wound channels across a wide velocity range—an advantage when shots vary from 50 to 350 yards.
Varmint hunters and deer hunters alike find value in this high-velocity load. Coyotes and other predators drop quickly from the devastating energy transfer at close to moderate range. On deer-sized game, the lighter bullet bucks wind impressively and hits hard enough for clean kills when placed in the vitals. California hunters and others restricted to non-lead ammunition have a genuine performer here.
- The 3,350 fps velocity creates the flattest trajectory available in factory .25-06 ammunition
- All-copper CX bullet meets lead-free requirements with near-100% weight retention
- Optimized grooves reduce barrel fouling compared to earlier monolithic copper bullets
- Superformance propellants boost velocity without increasing chamber pressure
- The .273 BC is relatively low—wind drift becomes noticeable at extended distances
- Lightweight 90 grain bullet may lack penetration for angled shots on larger deer
- Premium lead-free ammunition pricing exceeds conventional hunting loads
