Hornady 83209 Superformance Varmint 204 Ruger 24gr NTX 20rd

The Hornady Superformance Varmint 83209 delivers exceptional velocity and devastating terminal performance for precision varmint hunting in 204 Ruger caliber. This premium ammunition features the innovative NTX (Non-Traditional eXpanding) bullet design that provides consistent expansion without lead components.

What Makes This Different

Superformance propellant technology generates velocities up to 200 fps faster than conventional ammunition while maintaining safe pressure levels. The 24-grain NTX bullet construction uses a polymer tip and copper-alloy core to ensure reliable expansion across a wide velocity range. This lead-free design meets hunting regulations in California and other restricted areas while delivering superior ballistic performance compared to traditional lead-core bullets.

Key Features

• 24-grain NTX lead-free bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
• Superformance propellant increases velocity up to 200 fps over standard loads
• Copper-alloy construction provides 95% weight retention after impact
• Precision-manufactured brass cases with consistent wall thickness
• California compliant non-lead ammunition for restricted hunting areas
• Match-grade powder charge for consistent velocities shot to shot
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles chambered for 204 Ruger. The high velocity and flat trajectory make this load ideal for prairie dog towns, ground squirrels, and other small varmints at extended ranges. The NTX bullet maintains structural integrity in high-velocity impacts while creating devastating wound channels that ensure quick, ethical kills.
