Hunter123456 0 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi all, I'm using hornady superformance varmint 50gr in my 22-250 for fox. Is anyone else using this bullet ? And any good reviews on it ? Thanks Quote Link to post
Footu 1 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I hav a fac .22 and a shotgun and an air arms tdr.22 air rifle. Been shooting since I was a kid and still use the air rifle for rabbits25-35 yards. The fun is in the stalking or ambush. Fac .22 good for longer range lamping etc but you don't want a .22 fac for a 25 yard shot. It just ain't needed. Quote Link to post

remi700 99 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah I used to shoot the 55 grain old hornadays in the brown cardboard box then went to the dealer one day and he hadn't got any, only the new superformance so i tried a few boxes. I don't think they grouped as well through my gun as the old hornadays so when i was done with them i went back to the older ones. No doubt they done the job on foxes but i defiantly didn't see any advantage to them. My friends shooting the new superformance through his .222 tikka and he loves them. Just depends on your gun i suppose but i dont see a real need for the extra speed they give. The 22.250 is already flat as it needs to be in my opinion. However I was surprised to find that they are a non toxic bullet. Good to know there is something out there up to the job if they do get around to a total ban on lead. ATB Mark Quote Link to post

jam1e 12 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've used the 24 grain NTX Hornady Superformance in my .204. Only had the one box of 20 as i was trying various brands for my new rifle. Every shot was under an inch at 100 yards, just abit light if theres a breeze... Quote Link to post
