Hornady Superformance Varmint 204 Ruger 24 Grain NTX Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

Hornady Superformance Varmint 204 Ruger ammunition delivers the speed and precision small-game and varmint hunters demand. Loaded with a 24-grain NTX lead-free bullet, this centerfire rifle round combines velocity with a design engineered for reliable expansion and consistent performance on prairie dogs, coyotes, and other varmint-sized game. The lead-free projectile meets regulations in sensitive hunting areas while maintaining the ballistic performance Superformance ammo is known for. Each box contains 20 rounds ready to load and shoot.

The 24-grain NTX bullet features a mechanical interlocking design that promotes weight retention through the bullet's construction, helping it stay together on impact rather than fragmenting unpredictably. This controlled performance matters when you're taking longer shots on small, fast-moving targets where energy transfer and accuracy are equally critical. Superformance propellant delivers velocity gains you can measure, translating to flatter trajectories and less wind drift—real advantages in open country where varmint hunting often happens.

Whether you're an experienced varmint hunter stocking up for the season or new to the 204 Ruger platform, this ammunition gives you a no-compromise option that respects lead-free requirements without sacrificing terminal performance. The 204 Ruger's reputation for accuracy pairs well with Hornady's commitment to consistent, quality handloads.
