Default Superformance in the 6.5 Creed

Is anyone using this powder with 140 gr bullets? What are your thoughts? Thanks.

Any issues with superformance being temperature sensistive? Id hate to make a load that work well in the winter but is over pressured in the summer and vice versa?

any way to get "hyper performance"?

we all know that super performance is already higher than ultra performance, so don't need to achieve that.

I am using 43.1 grains Superformance behind Hornady 143 ELD-X bullets for an average velocity of 2739fps. Accuracy has been exceptional!

Could try R26. Guys are getting great velocity and ES. It is however not the most temp stable. R23 is suppose to give close to the same velocity as R26 and is more temp stable. I shoot a 6.5X47 with H4350. Would also be a good powder to try and is temp stable.
