[QUOTE="Camshaft, post: 546097, member: 25423"] I recently started using Superformance powder in my 300wsm and was getting well over 3300fps with the 165gr Hornady Gmx. But I discovered that like some other powders I have used, it likes to spike sometimes at max pressure. So I ended up retesting and setteling on 68.5gr at 3220fps rather than 70. Just remember there is no free lunch and velocity seldom lies in terms of pressure. Plus in my book even a semi sticky bolt lift is unacceptable. [/QUOTE]
