Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the NTX bullet different from a standard varmint bullet?
The NTX (Non-Toxic eXpanding) bullet replaces the traditional lead core with a proprietary lead-free material, topped with a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion on impact. This design delivers the same explosive terminal performance as Hornady's lead-core varmint bullets while complying with non-toxic ammunition mandates — making it the go-to choice for hunting in California and other states with lead restrictions.
Will this ammunition work reliably in any .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO firearm?
Yes. Hornady's Superformance propellant is designed to function safely and reliably across a wide range of .223 Remington chambered rifles, including bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms. Note that while .223 Rem ammunition can be fired in 5.56 NATO chambers, the reverse is not always recommended — always consult your firearm's manual for chambering compatibility.
How should I store this ammunition to maintain its performance?
Store your Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep rounds in the original box or a sealed ammo can to protect against moisture. Properly stored, factory ammunition can maintain its performance characteristics for many years. Always keep ammunition stored safely and securely, out of reach of children.
