I was a bit suprised the Super Formance was under published data but, it did meter well and recoil seemed to be more of a shove than a kick. The powder seems to be dirtier than 760 or Reloader 22. Accuracy was best with the 130 gr load but I could only get about 3" at 200 yards. The 150 FMJ loads were a waste of powder and bullets as far as accuracy goes.

Next step is to chrono these loads in the 30" barrel.

30" loads chrono'd.
