I was lucky enough to get ahold of 8 lb's of Superformance. They list load data for 243, 243 WSSM, 30-06, 300 RCM, and 300 WSM. Other than the standard disclaimers, How have you guys worked up loads for unlisted cartridges. I want to get this to work in a .308 win. | ||

you'd think that would be the first cartridge they would have worked loads for. guess it don't work there. | |||

Seems like it would be too slow for use in the .308win. Probably fill the case before you reached acceptable velocities. George | |||

That's the thing, it's generating about 50-100 more FPS than "regular" powders. And it should take less in a 308 than a 243, right? | |||

Different expansion ratio's. Political correctness offends me. | |||

Superformance is slower that 4831, to slow for the 308 Win. | |||

But they have 30-06 loads for it as well as 243 WSSM. I must need more research. | |||

Go here- Hodgdon Powders BTW, they do not list a loading for 308 Win with Superformance. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

30-06 and 243 WSSM are not 308 Win. Do all the research you can, it won't fit, it's to slow! | |||

I see... found this: http://www.hodgdon.com/PDF/Burn%20Rates_121211.pdf I am going to make the wild assumption that if a round is loaded with both H4831, and Win Supreme 780, that I might be safe loading Superformance. ie the 6.5 x 284 | |||
