Hornady 5.56x45mm NATO Superformance Ammo FAQ:
Superformance refers to Hornady's proprietary propellant technology that achieves higher velocities without increased pressure or recoil. This technology allows the ammunition to achieve 100-200 fps faster velocities than conventional ammunition of the same caliber and bullet weight.
Yes, this ammunition is designed for use in AR-15 style rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington. However, it's important to ensure your rifle has an appropriate twist rate to stabilize the 75-grain bullet effectively.
For optimal performance with 75-grain bullets, a 1:8 or faster twist rate is recommended. Barrels with 1:7 twist rates will also work excellently, while 1:9 may provide adequate stabilization depending on the specific rifle.
The effective range can extend beyond 600 yards in capable hands with appropriate rifles. However, factors such as wind conditions, shooter skill, and rifle quality all play a role in determining maximum effective range.
Yes, the brass from Hornady Superformance ammunition is reloadable. However, due to the specialized propellant used, you may not achieve the same velocities with standard reloading data.
While it will function in this role, there are better options specifically designed for home defense. The high velocity and weight of this round increase the risk of overpenetration in home defense scenarios.
Yes, this ammunition can be used with suppressors. However, due to its high velocity, it will likely remain supersonic even with a suppressor, so it won't be as quiet as subsonic loads.
Barrel length will impact velocity, with longer barrels generally producing higher velocities. The stated 2910 fps is typically achieved from a 20" barrel, with shorter barrels resulting in slightly lower velocities.
Hornady designs their ammunition to resist performance changes due to humidity. However, long-term storage in high-humidity environments should be avoided to maintain optimal performance.
