Hornady Superformance .22 Creedmoor ammunition (brand part no. 83413) drives a 65-grain CX bullet for shooters who want flat trajectory and reliable expansion from a modern, efficient case. Hornady builds the Superformance line around a specialized powder that adds genuine velocity over standard loads without extra chamber pressure or felt recoil. The CX (Copper alloy eXpanding) bullet is a lead-free monolithic design that opens reliably on impact while holding together for consistent performance on varmints and predators. In rifle ammunition for shooters chasing flat-shooting, high-velocity performance out of a small, efficient case, the .22 Creedmoor with a CX bullet is a serious option.
