Hornady Superformance 53 gr Vmax 223

[KLS]

Tested some with the chrono the other day, 3465 fps on the box 3600 fps out of 23.7” barrel. 3300 FPS out of 18.5” barrel. 3 Celsius the other day.

Usually Hornady ammo falls way short of box advertised fps.

Interesting, what have others found with their testing.

Hornady only makes Varmint Express in 53 gr for 22-250

Title say 223 so I assume he is talking about this given he quoted the velocity at 3465

technically they offer it in 50gr Vmax (item 8336) & 55gr Vmax (8337), years ago they also did 40gr Vmax

They don’t have a Superformance 53gr Vmax load…only Varmint Express 53gr Vmax in 22-250. They may offer other superformance or varmint express loads. I am not concerned with other projectiles. Comparing apples to apples. Lighter projectiles should move faster in both. Comparing velocity of a 40 gr to 53 gr isn’t necessarily fair in my mind.

It's a 50 or 55gr Vmax in 22-250 Varmint Express ammo, 22-250 50gr Vmax is also loaded in the Superformance line of ammo that you are shooting in 223

RemJim got everyone confused again LOL

The subject heading is:

Getting just under 3000fps in the 16" Bison ...
