Superperformance and 6.5 Creedmoor

[big fifty]

Anyone have any loads for the 6.5 Creedmoor using Hornady 123gr. A Max bullets or Hornady 140gr. A Max bullets with Superperformance powder?

good luck with superformance questions,I've tried already

I've described how to develop loads with Superformance a few times. Predictably someone jumps in with "if there aren't published loads don't do it!". Which approach do you favour?

Did you try calling or emailing hodgdon ?

I e-mailed them, no return as of yet ( over a week ago), guess I'll venture out on my own

According to the burn rate chart Superformance is right between Hodgdon H4831 and Winchester Supreme 780. http://www.hodgdon.com/burn-rate.html

You'd think that's make it easy enough to figure out but the pressure curve and pressure time is unique with this type of powder. http://www.realguns.com/archives/196.htm

They seem to make a 129 gr factory load. If you wanted to use that weight you could always get a hold of a round and weigh the powder charge.

or copy the 140gr. amax load factory load.

The recipe for the 140-grain A-MAX load is 41.7 grains of H4350 with a Federal 210 Match primer loaded to 2.820 inches;
