Product Overview
Hornady Superformance ammunition is loaded with proprietary propellants that increase the velocity ratings up to 200 feet per second compared to other popular brands. Because there is no increase in pressure, regardless of the caliber, there is no increase in felt recoil but there IS an increase in efficiency and high speed performance. From sub-zero arctic temperatures to almost unbearable desert heat, Superformance ammunition can withstand any hunting terrain.
Loaded with Hornady’s 129 Grain bullet, this round combines proven Hornady performance with a higher ballistic coefficient than available with most hunting bullets. The sharp, pointed polymer tip creates a faster, flatter shooting bullet. With its one-piece core and jacket strengthened in critical areas, the SST delivers much more controlled expansion and superior weight retention than other tipped bullets. Featuring Hornady’s trade mark InterLock ring system, this bullet’s core and jacket remain locked solid during expansion, creating massive wound channels.

I’ve tried a few different types of ammo through my Patriot in 6.5 Creedmor and this stuff groups the best. Same in my 270 Win.
John –
My results with this ammo in the patriot predator were excellent-sub MOA groups were not difficult to achieve.
Brian –
Shot multiple 1/2″ groups during break in of a Savage model 10T. All fit the magazine and had no feed problems. Wasn’t able to shoot over a crony, but the drop out to 400 yds would suggest 2750 FPS. Slammed a whitetail at 325, although the bullet was not recovered it did its job and left a decent exit hole and plenty of blood. I’m not in a hurry to reload for this caliber with factory ammo like this available and on sale.

My 6.5 Creedmoor Christensen Arms Ridgeline Bolt Action Rifle loves these rounds. Holding less than 1 MOA at 200 yards. I tried several brands and different grains but this ammo out preformed them all. This is the only ammo I’ll purchase for this rifle.
