Hornady 81169 Superformance 30-06 Springfield 165gr CX Ammo 20rd

The Hornady 81169 Superformance ammunition delivers exceptional velocity and terminal performance in the proven 30-06 Springfield cartridge. This premium hunting round features the advanced CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet technology that provides devastating expansion while maintaining structural integrity on impact.

What Makes This Different

Superformance propellant technology increases velocity by 100-200 fps compared to conventional ammunition without increasing felt recoil or barrel wear. The monolithic copper alloy CX bullet expands to nearly twice its diameter while retaining 95% of its original weight. This combination delivers flatter trajectory and superior energy transfer compared to traditional lead-core bullets.

Key Features

• 165-grain CX monolithic copper alloy bullet for maximum weight retention
• Superformance propellant increases velocity without added pressure
• Boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy
• Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
• Consistent expansion from 1,800 fps down to 1,600 fps impact velocity
• Premium brass cases with precise powder charges
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing

Field testing demonstrates this load achieves approximately 2,940 fps muzzle velocity from a 24-inch barrel with sub-MOA accuracy potential. The CX bullet maintains its structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle while creating a devastating wound channel. Hunters report excellent performance on medium to large game from whitetail deer to elk at ranges extending beyond 400 yards.
