Hornady Superformance 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr CX Copper Alloy 20rd

The Hornady Superformance 6.5 Creedmoor 120-grain CX ammunition delivers exceptional velocity and terminal performance through advanced propellant technology and solid copper construction. This premium hunting cartridge achieves velocities up to 200 fps faster than conventional loads while maintaining consistent accuracy across temperature extremes.

What Makes This Different

Superformance technology utilizes progressive burning propellants that generate higher velocities without increased chamber pressures or excessive muzzle blast. The monolithic copper alloy CX bullet expands reliably at impact velocities from 1,600 fps to over 3,000 fps, creating consistent wound channels where lead-core bullets may fragment unpredictably. Independent testing shows this load maintains sub-MOA accuracy while delivering 15-20% more energy than standard 6.5 Creedmoor hunting ammunition.

Key Features

• 120-grain monolithic copper alloy CX bullet with controlled expansion design
• Superformance propellant technology increases velocity by 100-200 fps over standard loads
• Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations including California requirements
• Boat-tail design with optimized ballistic coefficient of .506 for extended range performance
• Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent velocities from -20°F to 120°F
• Precision-drawn brass cases with consistent neck tension and flash hole uniformity
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications with quality control testing

Field performance data indicates this load achieves 2,950 fps muzzle velocity from 24-inch barrels, delivering 2,315 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. The copper alloy construction retains 95-99% of bullet weight after expansion, providing deep penetration on medium to large game. Hunters report consistent performance on whitetail, mule deer, and antelope at ranges exceeding 400 yards. The lead-free design eliminates concerns about meat contamination while providing reliable expansion across varying impact velocities.
