200 Rounds of 35gr NTX .223 Ammo by Hornady

Hornady’s Superformance ammunition really is something else. Here is a cartridge that consistently delivers a muzzle velocity 100 to 200 fps faster than an analogous 223 Rem load – without producing added muzzle blast, temperature sensitivity, recoil or loss of accuracy! Quite the handy bonus when you want laserlike trajectories for varmint hunting.

This round’s trajectory is very flat indeed thanks to its crazy fast 4,000 fps muzzle velocity. That’s because its NTX bullet contains no lead, so it weighs in at just 35 grains! The NTX is plenty accurate in its own right courtesy of its slipstream polymer tip and match grade Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket.

The NTX’s core is made of nothing but frangible copper. When the tip jams in there on impact, it forces the core to disintegrate and the jacket to burst apart like the shell of a hand grenade. That makes the NTX a great varmint hunting companion even if you don’t have to obey a law banning the use of lead projectiles!

This AR-friendly ammo’s lightweight bullets will produce their best accuracy with a 1:14” or slower barrel twist. It is decked out with all of Hornady’s high-quality components, including reloadable brass cases.
