I played with it a little and got the 180 Hornady to about 2780 out of my 22” FWT. Accuracy was on par with a slingshot at 100 yards, so I gave up on it. The same bullet over RL22 did 2650 with little groups. I don’t think the deer I shoot will notice the lack of 100 FPS. I used loads from 57.5 to 59.5 if I recall.

I have played with it and have found it to be much slower than the data claims. But...... I wound up with some pretty confusing results accuracy wise..... I would get some phenomenal 200-yard groups but then every now and then there would be crazy unexplained Flyers. It's also a pretty dirty powder. I did get both my cataracts fixed this summer so maybe the accuracy situation was me but it was pretty weird!

2800 fps isn't hard to get with lots of powders, I wouldn't sweat the extra 40fps. I haven't loaded any with that powder, but did try some factory Superformance loads in 308 and 30-06. I tried 165's in 30-06 with poor accuracy and no more speed than my handloads with either H4350 or IMR4350. The 150 gr 308 loads however were pretty accurate and while they didn't quite equal advertised speeds, they were faster than I felt I could match by hand loading.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Used superformance in 270 Winchester with 140gr accubonds, Very accurate load, about 3070fps. 150gr Patitions not so well pressure went up quickly, stopped loading. Should work with 150gr and 165gr, not sure about 180gr.
