Hornady Manufacturing has announced that it will be introducing its popular Superformance ammunition to hunters around the globe with its Superformance International line.

Superformance ammunition—which blends propellants and manipulates burn rates to reach speeds that are 30 to 60 meters per second faster than conventional center-fire rifle loads—was first released to the American market in 2010. The new Superformance International line is meant to answer the demands of the global hunter, and will be available in the most popular European calibers.

The Superformance International line will feature Hornady GMX bullets, which are made of copper alloy and retain 95 percent or more of their original weight.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
