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.

From what I've seen I haven't been very impressed.
Odocoileus has a Browning single shot in 280 and it shoots them like a buck shot pattern.

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.

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.

I've talked to other that say the same thing.

I always favored 150s out of a '06 or .308 for our little Bama deer.

If it’s the SST bullet I’d shoot anything else. 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?!?!

soft points work well . my 7mags and 35 whelens like them a lot .

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.

My 35Whelen will flat out stack the 200gr SP SuperFormance. Everything else I’ve shot them out of they were all over the place.

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

Yes, I use the 265gr SuperP in my 444.

Something like that works great on a broadside lung shot. 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.

Don’t know if you can judge a bullet by a double lung shot, a 22LR will go through both lungs.

The powder is good, I make some great superformance TTSX! The ammo is more miss than hit
