Buy Hodgdon Hornady Superformance Smokeless Gun Powder

Hodgdon Hornady Superformance is in stock now at Primers Reloading, giving rifle reloaders the same powder Hornady uses in its Superformance factory ammunition. Made in the USA, it was built to squeeze out extra velocity from popular cartridges like the .22-250 Remington, .243 Winchester, and 6.5 Creedmoor.

What is Hodgdon Hornady Superformance powder?

Hodgdon Powder Company and Hornady teamed up to answer a question reloaders kept asking: “Can I buy the powder used in Hornady Superformance factory ammunition?” This is the answer.

It’s a spherical (ball-shaped) smokeless powder, which means the round grains flow smoothly through powder measures. It’s also a double-base powder, meaning it contains both nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin. Hodgdon says it’s tailored for specific applications, so it’s listed for a limited number of cartridges and bullets. But where it’s listed, Hodgdon says it really delivers.

Which cartridges use Hodgdon Hornady Superformance?

Hodgdon Hornady Superformance is best known for delivering strong velocities in cartridges like:

• .22-250 Remington
• .243 Winchester
• 6.5 Creedmoor
• 6mm Creedmoor
• .300 Winchester Short Magnum
• .257 Roberts
• .30-06 Springfield

Because this powder is picky by design, always check Hodgdon’s published load data for your exact cartridge, bullet, and primer before loading. If your combination isn’t listed, this may not be the right powder for it.

Why reloaders choose Hodgdon Hornady Superformance

• Extra velocity – Hodgdon says targeted velocities are well over 100 feet per second above the best published handloads with other powders, and even more above factory ammunition.
• Same powder as Hornady factory ammo – Great for reloaders who want to match or beat the performance of Hornady Superformance loads.
• Smooth metering – The ball-shaped grains flow freely through powder measures, and one reviewer praised how well it works in a powder dispenser.
• Strong accuracy reports – Reloaders report tight groups in the 6.5 Creedmoor, .22-250, and .257 Roberts.
• Made in the USA – Backed by Hodgdon’s long history in smokeless powder.

A note on temperature sensitivity

Hodgdon Hornady Superformance is not classified as a temperature-stable powder, so velocity can shift somewhat between hot and cold conditions. Keep this in mind if you load ahead of a season with big temperature swings, and it’s smart to check your loads with a chronograph if conditions change.

Available sizes

• 1-pound container – Great for trying it out or working up a new load.
• 8-pound container – Best value for high-volume reloaders.

Shipping information

Smokeless powder is classified as a hazardous material for shipping, so a few rules apply:

• Ground shipping only — never by air.
• Shipped separately from non-hazmat items, and typically cannot ship in the same box as primers due to combined hazmat limits.
• Requires an adult signature (21+) upon delivery.
• Some states and localities have additional restrictions on powder shipments, and per-order quantity limits may apply.

We handle all of the compliance details on our end, so all you need to do is place your order and be ready to sign when it arrives.
