So ... I've yet to put together a Superformance load in any of my rifles that shot any better than barely acceptable. Have I just been unlucky, or is there a specific application where this stuff shines? Where have you had the best results using it? I've still got a couple or three pounds, and I'd like to use it, if I can find the right application.
 
I use it in my 30-06 and it's unbelievable accurate. You should try using magnum primers with you loads if you are not already.
Ball powder is just a little bit more accurate when it's stoked by a hot flame.
 
It worked good in a 270 I loaded for (uncles gun, he’s since passed away) years ago. Never got a good ES for my standards but plenty good enough for 350-400 yard hunting. I’m just nit picky. ES of somewhere around 35-40, SD around 15-20. Mind you that was in a savage axis. But accuracy was half MOA pretty consistently, and never above .75”
 
I plan on using it in my 404 j once it's finished I have tried it in other 404's and it was very accurate.

What primer ?
 
What primer ?
Federal 210 match. I use match federal for pretty much everything. 210m and 215m. I don’t reload for anything that uses a small rifle or pistol primer currently. In his old age he was more of a fair weather hunter so I never bothered with magnums. Might have been worth it if he was younger and still hunting in sub zero°F temps, but magnum primers in small cartridges like that tend to amplify SD.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
