About this powder
Superperformance was developed in partnership with Hornady to replicate their Superformance factory ammunition's higher velocity. It achieves 100-200 fps more than comparable powders at the same pressure in cartridges like .308 Win, .30-06, and .300 Win Mag. Primarily a hunting powder for reloaders seeking maximum factory-equivalent performance.
