Recently went to Cabela's. Saw they had the new Hodgdon Superformance powder. It has the load data for the 22-250, .243 and several other calibers on the label. So I bought a bottle to give it a try. Supposed to increase velocity by 200 feet per second, without increasing pressure. I will let you know how it works out.

Hey I hope it does work but I can't see how it will, it has the same burn rate as H4831 or win780 it seems that you will run out of case volume, at least with the lighter bullets maybe with the heavyest bullets available in that caliber it will shine in any case let us know.

Remember Powdervalley for your powders,get together and buy quantity and you can split the hazmat and shipping.Sometimes they offer free shipping or hazmat at times with certain powders.H380 is good for 22-250 and h4831 can be used in the .243.There is no powder that does it all for all rifles.I have never had any good luck with my remingtons with varget.Come to think of it,it hasnt worked in any of my rifles.It may work real well for others but not always.

I like to use varget because it's more consistent in different tempatures. The loads I work up in winter weather work the same when it's 90-100 outside. The 4064 loads just can't match the temp changes like the Varget does. Although 4064 does work better for me in my .243.
