Hornady Superformance 6.5 Creedmoor 120 Grain CX Polymer Tip Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

Hornady Superformance 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition delivers velocity gains that don't come at the cost of safety, accuracy, or shooter comfort. This 120-grain CX polymer tip lead-free load is built for hunters and precision shooters who want flatter trajectories and harder impact energy without cranking up chamber pressure or dealing with the downsides of hot ammo—no excessive recoil, muzzle blast, temperature shifts, or fouling issues that degrade performance in the field.

The engineering behind Superformance is straightforward: progressive propellant technology burns more efficiently than conventional powders, allowing Hornady to push velocity significantly higher while keeping pressure in the safe zone. For the 6.5 Creedmoor, that means your favorite bullet gets performance that standard loads simply can't match. The CX bullet design—solid copper construction with a polymer tip—delivers consistent ballistics and is inherently lead-free, making it compliant in restricted areas and cleaner to shoot at the bench or range.

At 120 grains, this load strikes a balance between velocity and recoil management, making it a practical choice for medium-range hunting, target work, or anyone building a solid all-around 6.5 Creedmoor load. Each box contains 20 rounds, so you get enough to establish a zero, test velocity, and carry confidence into the field without breaking the bank on component costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hornady Superformance safe to shoot in any 6.5 Creedmoor rifle?

Yes. Superformance ammunition is loaded within standard pressure specifications for 6.5 Creedmoor, so it is safe in any rifle chambered for that cartridge. The velocity gains come from efficient propellant technology, not excessive pressure.

What does lead-free ammunition mean?

The CX bullet is constructed from solid copper with no lead core. Lead-free ammunition is required in some hunting areas and ranges, and eliminates lead exposure during shooting. Performance and ballistics remain consistent with conventional loads.

Is this ammo suitable for hunting?

Yes. The 120-grain CX load is designed for hunting applications, offering good velocity and energy delivery in the 6.5 Creedmoor platform. Suitability depends on your specific game and distance; consult local regulations and ballistics data for your intended use.

How many rounds come in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of Hornady Superformance 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition.
