Hi everyone. I don't usually post links to specific GA magazine articles here because the mods give me crap but this is a pretty big deal. Hornady officially released news and details for a new Superformance brand specifically for varmint hunting today. The terminal ballistics for the .223 53gr bullet at 300 yards are almost identical to a 50gr .22-250. For all of the new shooters out there with shiny black ARs that they have no idea what to do with, this could bring some of them into the fold of committed shooter.
I have a full article in our new blog software (we are deprecating the forum it doesn't work for the GunsAmerica Magazine format). The link to it is here:

Here is the intro:
I am adding the chart from the data sheet so you don't have to click out to read the article to see the numbers:

You don’t hear “game changer” much in the world of production ammunition. But once again, Hornady Manufacturing Co. has indeed changed yet another game. If you have ever considered hunting prairie dogs with your AR-15 platform rifle but thought the cartridge slightly underpowered for 300 yard dogtown decimation shots, you can now get close to .22-250 ballistics out of your .223 Remington chambered AR. The Superformance line of ammunition from Hornady now has a Superformance Varmint line, and the possibilities that come from these “off the chart” new cartridges are truly amazing.
