Hornady Superformance 22 ARC 70gr CX Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Hornady 81539 Superformance 22 ARC delivers exceptional velocity and terminal performance with the advanced CX bullet design. This premium hunting ammunition combines Hornady's proven Superformance propellant technology with the all-copper CX projectile for devastating effectiveness on medium game. Engineered for the versatile 22 ARC cartridge, this load maximizes the caliber's inherent accuracy potential.

What Makes This Different

Superformance technology increases velocity by 100-200 fps over conventional loads without increasing pressure or barrel wear. The 70-grain CX bullet features a solid copper construction with polymer tip, delivering 95% weight retention and controlled expansion. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the CX design maintains structural integrity through barriers while creating consistent wound channels.

Key Features

• 70-grain CX all-copper bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
• Superformance propellant increases velocity without pressure spikes
• 95% weight retention maintains penetration through tough game
• Optimized for 22 ARC chambering in bolt-action and AR-platform rifles
• Premium brass cases sized for consistent chambering and extraction
• Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
• 20 rounds per box packaging for convenient range sessions

Field performance demonstrates excellent accuracy potential in quality 22 ARC rifles, with many reporting sub-MOA groups at 100 yards. The balanced 70-grain weight provides flat trajectory for longer shots while maintaining sufficient energy for ethical harvests on deer-sized game. The CX bullet's controlled expansion creates reliable terminal performance across various impact velocities, making it suitable for both close-range timber hunting and open-country applications.
