Product Overview

Hodgdon® Powder Company and Hornady® have teamed together to answer the reloading question; "Can I buy the powder used in Hornady Superformance factory ammunition?"

Superformance delivers striking velocities in cartridges like the 22-250 Remington, 243 Winchester and 300 Winchester Short Magnum. Targeted velocities are well in excess of 100 fps over the best published handloads and even larger gains over factory ammunition!

Because this propellant is tailored for specific applications, the number of cartridges and bullets is limited, but where it works, it really works!

Made in the USA. 

Available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers.

    I have found this works best with 30-06 with 180 gr bullets.I can reach my goal of a 3 shot group at 100 yards that all touch.Not quite a single hole but all touch at about 3/8 of an inch.Love it!

    Superformance powder and Whitetail factory Ammo

    Posted by Craig on Jun 8th 2021

    After purchasing a used WEATHERBY Vanguard chambered in .243 Winchester. I stopped at a farm store and bought two boxes of Hornady White tail ammo. At the range I wasimpressed how well the rifle shot the cartridges. Later that night I did some research at the Hornady and hodge on websites and ordered a pound of superformance and Hornady 100 grain SPBT 100grain bullets along with Hornady dies. After putting together a box of cartridges using the previously fired brass, back to the range the next weekend and compared my reloads to factory ammo. I couldn’t see a difference I’m group sizes. Superformance and the spot bullet are a real winner. With the ammo shortage I’m glad I researched the factory ammo. Now I’m not going to be caught short of hunting ammo. This also reinforced my belief in Hornady products. I have a good supply of my favorite 223, 243,30-06, and 8mm hornady bullets. No need to look any further in my opinion.

    Great Powder

    Posted by Uncle Powder 4064 on May 8th 2021

    I have only caliber where I can use the Superformance. The CUP index is not reflective of the increased horsepower I get from this powder compared to other traditional powders such as IMR 4064 or IMR 4350. I highly recommend this exceptional powder.

    Harder to use

    Posted by Uncle Powder 4064 on Nov 1st 2020

    I bought the Superformance to add an edge to my .30-06 performance after having used the IMR 4350 for ever. The performance edge is measurable, however, I cannot use my powder charger to charge my cases because the powder sticks inside the measuring chamber and throws inconsistent charges. I have cleaned the chamber and even used anti-static spray on the charge chamber. I began using my measuring scale. but, when I pour the powder through the funnel directly into the case the powder sticks to the inside of the cartridge neck again getting inconsistent charges. I am thinking about either going back to the IMR 4350 or trying the new StaBALL 6.5. The Winchester StaBALL 6.5 shows a performance edge over the Superformance with lower than expected pressures. It would be nice to know if there are metering issues with the StaBALL 6.5 like I have with the Superformance.
