MikedaddyH Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Does anyone on this forum have any Hornady Superformance ammo they could open up one round and get a weight of the powder?I would like to make a few rounds to test, starting at 42.0 gr and working up a grain at a time. It appears the 155 ,165 & 168 gr bullets work well with this powder.THXMike H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Went out yesterday and did a function test with some of the Superformance loads, one each of the light loads and they cycled using a 20" barreled gun the a rifle length gas system. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtspike Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I been thinking about superformance in 762 brass with a 175gr mostly cus all my 308s are loaded . got a bucket of 762 waiting for powder and some bullets. ill like to see your results and run some tests of my own from a 24in. my brother[who is here] has been tinkering with it in I believe 223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 It might be awhile before I buy or borrow a chrono. So the 308 results will be pending. I'll save 3 rounds at each charge weight for the test. I dont want to use my expensive 24 inch gun just incase something goes wrong. The Superformance powder worked great in the 300 wsm as far as accuracy is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
