Fast
Hornady Superformance ammunition offers velocities 100 to 200 fps faster than conventional ammunition, delivering enhanced performance in every firearm without increasing felt recoil, muzzle blast, temperature sensitivity, fouling, or compromising accuracy.

Innovative
Superformance represents a cutting-edge technological advancement in ammunition design, transcending conventional limits to achieve exceptional performance for hunters and shooters.

Specialised
Hornady Superformance ammunition utilises ultra-progressive propellants, elevating SST or GMX bullets to performance levels previously unattainable with conventional propellants. Historically, achieving higher velocities involved larger charge weights of slow-burning powder in bigger cartridge cases, often resulting in increased recoil and muzzle blast. The Superformance solution offers an elegant approach, employing specialised powders at normal charge weights to impart all usable energy to the bullet, reducing muzzle flash while significantly increasing velocity.

Versatile
Superformance delivers increased performance and is safe for use in all firearms, including semi-automatic, lever-action, and pump-action models. This ammunition provides enhanced rifle performance without increasing barrel wear or felt recoil, while also offering superior temperature stability.

Performance, Recoil & Comparison Tests
Hornady Superformance ammunition consistently achieves velocities 100-200 fps above SAAMI standards across all calibres, bullet weights, and bullet types. This superior performance is a result of revolutionary, highly efficient powders optimised for each specific load.

Superformance in Gas-Operated Firearms
Superformance ammunition operates safely within SAAMI pressure guidelines. While perfectly safe for use in gas-operated firearms, testing indicates that some systems may perform more efficiently than others.
