Anybody using Hornady Superformance 165 grains in .308? I shot these years ago in 30-06 and just been wondering how they d perform in a .308.

I never got a good grouping with them in my a-bolt. seemed a lil too hot, as i’d get bolt jam/lock every now and then.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

Shoot fine in my A-Bolt, but I prefer the regular old customs.

I'm not impressed with them. I've personally only seen one gun that would shoot them well. Its all it would shoot well though and it stacked them. Everything else I've had looked more like a buck shot group than a rifle.

I've shot a bunch of Superfromance 150 gr. They'll punch the same hole out of my .308 Finnlight. Killed a bunch of deer with them too, either bang flop or run 40 yards tops, then flop. No complaints here.

If it’s the SST bullet I’d shoot anything else. The SST is the worst bullet I’ve ever used

The SST is the worst bullet I’ve ever used I've often thought the SST was the problem with the Superformance ammo more so than the powder/charge weight. It would be interesting to see that ammo line loaded with the GMX And after posting that, I realized they load the Superformance line with a lot of different bullets...I've never seen it loaded with anything but SSTs. Might have to try some others if I can find it

My son shoots the supers in 150gr sst in his steyr .308 and I shoot them in my Daniel Defence DDM5V1 AR10. We have had excellent results with both accuracy and performance. He shot a huge 245lb buck with it last week in North East Texas and it destroyed both lungs and left an exit wound the size of a racket ball. I am truly shocked to hear some say that the SST is a bad choice. For Alabama whitetails, I think it is a great choice. We have it in loads from .243 to .300 win mag. Can someone tell me how it didn’t perform. If it was a good shot, I can’t imagine it not performing?!?!

I call it supersuckformance lol. Seriously it use to shoot great out of my sako finnlight, but when they went to that fancy box and name, my gun no longer liked it. But i don't mind, cause whatever powder they were using would foul my gun up quick anyhow...

I shot the regular sst loads in my 270win. It was about the best bullet that I've used in that rifle. I always got exits and a great blood trail. Never shot the superformance, though.
83% of all statistics are made up.

One buddy swears by them out of his Tikka 300wm. I've never liked the groups. Can't speak to bullet performance

Might fragment on bone however too much to continue penetration. I want a bullet that will travel stem to stern after busting bone if I need it to.
