[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3101947, member: 109862"] It is but it’s finicky. Better with even lighter bullets. With superformance I’ve found you want a full case and preferably a compressed load even or the es and sd numbers are ALL OVER THE PLACE. But, as even hornady and hodgdon say, it has a limited window but where it works it REALLY works. I used it in a .300 win mag to drive hbn-treated Barnes 120 tac-tx bullets to 4050 feet per second. It was a violent but very fast killer. 89 grains compressed. That’s not a typo. I did not mean to say 79 grains. It’s very dense powder, I fit 89 grains of it in PETERSON brass under a crimped hbn treated 120 grain bullet and chronoed a bunch of them all between 4040-4060 fps. Easy one finger bolt lift and extraction and no major pressure signs in my savage 111. No doubt it’s a tad hot but these progressive burn rate powders (like superformance, rl17, rl26…and I have my suspicions about Leverevolution and the Winchester StaBall line) really do some interesting things…they don’t play by the same rules all the time.
