Superformance

DeerSlayer86 · May 18, 2012, 01:08 AM

I want to give the hodgdon superformance a try in my 26-06 rem but can't find data anywhere...not for any cartridges really. I looked up burnrates on their website and it's between 4831sc and rl22. So I made an "educated guess" where to start. If anyone has any info or recommendations I'm all ears!

You're right, it's not listed for .25-06. You're treading untrod ground. Be careful and go slowly. I only see data for nine cartridges, from 22-250 to 300 WSM. It looks like it works best in short, fat cases. The Hodgdon website says: "Because this propellant is tailored for specific applications, the number of cartridges and bullets is limited, but where it works, it really works!"
