    If the idea is low recoil id be loading them down around 2700-2800 as they are very frangible and dont need more speed to work.
    Superformance isn't suitable for many calibers apparently, but 300 wsm with 155 gr Amax is one of the four listings on the powder container.

    I'll have a play around, see how much speed I can get without losing accuracy just out of interest, then find a slower load like you said.

    Interesting......all the empty containers lying around here and I had never looked at the listings on the container!

    Yea, it's quite hard case. Think there's .243, 22-250 and 300 wsm all with very light pills though.
