Hornady Superformance Powder
 

Howdy fellas,

Gonna start working up a load for my 6.5 creedmoor.

Hooding to get Hornady 143 ELD-X bullets to shoot well.

Thinking of trying Hornady Superformance Powder first, not much info on it out there tho.

Anyone use it...?

Is it very temp sensitive..?

And as a bonus anyone have experience with the ELD-X bullets on game..?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a Creedmoor 6.5 but this is the latest from Hornadys 10th edition.

I use SP in my 280 Rem with 120 gr. TSX with excellent results

I use it in my 6.5 Creedmoor shooting Barnes 127 grain LRX bullets. I like it.

I'm going to try some Hornady 143 ELD-X bullets this year and will try it with them too.

has anyone else noticed that it is much louder to shoot that powder?

I've certainly noticed that in the factory loaded ammunition. OTOH, gets nearly box velocity out of my 20" tikka 243, while some other factory ammo loses > 200 fps from box velocity.

Where is it available?

I'm pretty sure the powder Hodgdon sells as "Superformance" is not the same powder Hornady uses for in their factory loaded ammunition. As I understanding it, ballisticians at Hornady custom blend the powder for each cartridge. So, while each load is called "Superformance" the makeup cartridge to cartridge is different, just as the Hodgdon powder is also different.

Superperformance powder is not the same as used in the factory loaded ammunition. Don't know why they would try to confuse people like that

I have used superformance in my .243/ I do not have a 6.5 creedmoore. It has given me various degrees of success with 80 to 105 gr. bullets. I chrono everything & have noticed that it is quite temp sensitive. I've had better luck with Hybrid 100 V, great accuracy& speed, very consistant velocities, & not very temp sensitive. I shoot 105gr. hornady bt.hp.match BC.530 , using 6/10ths. under max. from hornady manual, with lapua case& fed. match primer, 10 thou. off lands---for 3070fps. avg. for 15 rounds. Hornady's max. of 41.6grs. shows 2900fps. with 24" barrel. Mine is also 24"--1 in 9.25" twist-this is an awesome long range load for targets or coyotes, & my pressure shows normal. This load hangs right with a 6.5 creedmoore 140gr. out to 700yds. except for energy, cause it's starting out faster. Hybrid 100 v might be you're answer. I don't know how it will perform on coyotes, so if anyone has tried , please chime in. I'm also getting sub moa @ 350yds. not trying too hard.:sHa_shakeshout:
