[tgoss]

Tried some Superformance in 6XC today with 107 SMKs. Ran ladder test from 38gr to 43gr. Highest load ran 3250 SD 15.25fps. 42.5 most accurate at 3220 SD 6 fps shot .218 out of 28" Krieger 1:7.5 in 10-15 mph tailwind.

sounds like it could be interesting. I will have to try some. I shot Ramshot Hunter in mine with a 105 VLD it shot decent.
I haven't really found a powder the XC does not shoot well. You just have to kind of find what you like but the velocity you are getting I think after hunting season is over I will pick up a can of it and give it a try.I kind of have mine dialed in right now with RL26 in one and RL17 in the other.

What was the ES?

Superformance performs as good as anything I have ever tried in my 6.5 Super LR AR 10 rifle. I use Federal 215M primers though. Also works good in a 22-250 fast twist with 75 gr class bullets.

ES is extreme spread. Difference between highest velocity and lowest

Have you checked the primer pockets of the cases from the top load yet? Still tight?

showing pressure. 42.5 was accurate. 43.0 was not. Probably going shoot in the 3100-3150 slot for 600 yards comp. Maybe deer hunt with the top loads.
