[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 1981981, member: 114381"] Regarding Hornady Superformance, it is pretty fast in 270 win 130 gr and really fast in 30-06 165gr - compared to what I can hand load with standard (non-magic) powders. But it doesn’t shoot worth a darn. 2 MOA at best. It’s not the bullet, as the SSTs shoot < .75 MOA in the same guns with different powders and charge weights. Same with seating depth. I seat the at the canalure - same as factory. As I said previously, flat primers in all guns. Noticeable bolt lift in my bolt guns. In my gas guns, the rims get torn up also. All at temp < 80DegF. I’d be scared to see what would happen here in Texas in the summer. Don’t get hung up on velocity. Accuracy first, and then velocity. In the right cartridges with RL26, you can have both - and outrun even the fastest factory ammo without pressure signs [/QUOTE]
