Hrndy .223 Rem 35gr NTX Ammunition - 20 Rounds per Box (200 Rounds Total)

Hornady .223 Rem 35gr NTX ammunition delivers the velocity and lethality you need for fast, clean varmint work under 50 pounds. This Superformance Varmint load pairs a lead-free polymer-tipped NTX bullet with a propellant system engineered to add 100–200 fps over conventional .223 rounds—gains that translate directly to flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and more reliable terminal performance across the board. Whether you're running a bolt gun, an AR platform, or a semi-auto rifle, this ammunition cycles reliably and safely in all action types.

The 35-grain NTX bullet is designed for rapid fragmentation and match-grade accuracy, which means your shots land where you aim and deliver the expansion needed for quick, ethical kills on small game and varmints. Lead-free construction makes it an excellent choice where regulations restrict traditional ammunition or where environmental impact matters to you. You get 200 rounds total—ten boxes of 20—so you have enough for serious range time or a productive season in the field.

If you handload or are curious about the ballistics yourself, the velocity boost from Superformance Varmint lets you customize loads or simply trust that factory ammo will perform consistently from gun to gun. No special considerations needed—use it in any .223 Remington chamber and expect tight groups and dependable results.
