The Hornady Superformance Varmint .222 Remington 35gr NTX (Hornady part no. 8309) is a .222 Remington load built around a 35-grain Non-Traditional eXpanding (NTX), a lead-free for varmint and predator hunting. Hornady builds this load for flat trajectories and violent, explosive expansion on varmints. The Non-Traditional eXpanding (NTX), a lead-free is built to come apart violently on impact, dumping energy fast on thin-skinned varmints. In rifle ammunition, this is the load for a long afternoon on the prairie dog town or coyote stand.
