[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 415544, member: 8712"] Hornady claims a 200fps advantage over standard products and I believe them for several reasons. First is powder mfg in USA is sorta like car battery mfg, there are only so many powder mills ( probably less than 6) in the whole USA and they and the business is tightly controlled. Olin Matheson Chemical Co ( Winchester powder ) is behind most of the powder research and development in the USA in some way or other. Same way there are probably not more than 12 car battery manufacturERS in the whole USA. Keep in mind I said manufacturer, not a can of powder with a Brand X label or a car battery with Sears label on it. Powder mfg is a chemical process and there are many secrets for good reason. Profit is only one reason.

I knew something was up as I burnt up a ton of Hvy Mag ammo and it got unavailable QUICKLY. Superformance replaced it at a considerable cost savings to the shooter ( 29.99 vs the former 42.99). They say the secret is in the powder and Hornady can keep that secret for 21 years. That way they get paid for the R & D that ( somebody) did. Reloaders, you'll just have to grow your beards and wait... [/QUOTE]
