Hodgdon Superformance Question

[SniperOne]

My team is using the Hornady Match Superformance 168 A-Max rounds for our barrier ammo in .308 Winchester. I like the preformance of this load and decided to buy a pound of the Hodgdon Superformance powder to load some Hornday A-Max 168's and SMK 168's for my .308. Does anyone have any loading data for the .308 using 168's? Hodgdon only lists a few loadings so far and none for the .308.

The Hogdon superformance powder is not the same as the powder being used in the .308 superformance ammo. The Hogdon SF powder is a good bit too slow to get any worth while results out of it. The burn rate of the Hogdon SF powger is very comparable to H-4831. If you would like to read more about this there are quite a few threads on this forum and many others discussing this exact subject.

I spoke with a Hodgdon rep last week about this powder and the reason they don't list loads for other calibers is because it doesn't live up to it's name. But for those cartridges/bullet combos listed, it works well.
