Just tested loads with 58 gr vmax/ cfe223 44.2 gr and could not get velocity better than 3720 I have a pack of Superformance that claims 3900, well shot it as well and really crappy groups with 3669-3720-3733 max
Hmmm. Not even close to as advertised and cfe though not ideal had all sub moa with same velocity just for your info if you’re hand loading or wondering about Superformace ammo

I have gotten excellent accuracy and velocity with a 58 grain VMax using W760 powder. I have wanted to try other powders, but that combo has worked so well for me that I've just left well enough alone.

I’ve had great luck with H414 (same as 760). It’s temp sensitive so beware in the summertime. I developed a great load in the spring one year. I took them on a PD hunt that I had to keep my ammo in an ice chest and only chamber a round right before a shot. Otherwise they would heat soak in the gun and be a bit sticky.

I've heard that about 414/760, but have never experienced it. Could be because I do the majority of my shooting with the 243 during cool weather. W760 is pretty much the only powder I use for the 243, with the exception being IMR4350 in the 95 and 100 grain bullets.

I was planning to try 760 but can't get it locally powder supply is terrible right now

Likewise I shoot it mostly in late fall winter, for my 100 gr I use r22 basically identical to 4350
