[QUOTE="Saskquatch6, post: 2129220, member: 58704"] Superformance has been my powder of choice for 300WSM for years - it performs as advertised achieving higher velocities at lower pressures than any other powder I’ve used and still gives good accuracy. In an article by Richard Mann (2011) on LoadData he quotes Chris Hodgdon (Hodgdon Powders) where he advises of the dangers of trying to duplicate factory Superformance loads as follows: [SIZE=3][I][B]All Superformance Hornady ammunition is not loaded with the commercially available Superformance Hodgdon powder; different blends are used for different loads.[/B][/I][/SIZE] Cartridges listed as recommended on the container are 22-250, 243 Win and 300WSM. However, Hodgdon and a number of other manuals and websites have now published loads for Superformance in other (usually over-bore) chamberings. With a little on-line research you should find quite a few loads. Ex. I recently noticed Barnes has a 270 Win load for 140 gr bullets. BTW -haven't come across anything for 222 or 308. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
