I found a store that has Hornady Superformance powder but can't find any data yet. Tried Hornady's Web site but couldn't find any information. Any help would be much appreciated.
 
You can get some limited data on the Hodgson website. There isn't much out there.
It also isn't exactly the same powder that Hornady uses in their factory loads.
 
superformance is very limited in use. I believe there are only a few rounds it shines in. some are 243, 30 06 300 wsm and a couple of others.
 
Superformance is fairly slow - between H4350 and H4831. Far too slow for the 223. Hodgdon lists loads for:

The superformance we can buy is not the same as in loaded ammo. For factory loaded ammo they use a blend of powders amd it is different for every load.

That's correct, and I have to call this the most peculiar approach I've yet seen in the shooting sports related to the use of a name. Concerning the name "Superformance", Hodgdon produces the powder by that name, and Hodgdon and Hornady jointly produce the ammunition by that name. However, while the powder and the ammunition share the same name, we know that not all of the Hornady Superformance ammunition uses the Hodgdon Superformance powder, in fact it's not clear if any uses it!

So which Superformance ammunition might use Superformance powder? Only Hornady and Hodgdon can say for sure and they're not saying, but if it's any of the ammunition, it would be those for which powder just a bit faster than H4831 would give top velocities, and that could include those listed in the Hodgdon Reloading Center as shared above.

This is all marketing. In my opinion, this approach might be effective to sell ammunition, but I doubt that very much powder is being sold - Superformance is "In Stock" everywhere. The reason? I think it's because there are too few loads published, just like LEVERevolution, but I digress.
 
To see what cartridges Superperformance can be used in:
Hodgdon website
pick 280 rem
leave step 2&3 on any
step 4 pick suprform
step one drop down will list cartridges it can be used in
Works for all powders
I use Suprform in my 280 Rem 3156 fps with 120 TSX
 
Let me condense my previous post: Superformance ammo has no relation to the Superformance powder, with some POSSIBLE exceptions, none of which include 223.

Feel free to produce evidence to the contrary.
