Hodgdon’s new Hornady Superformance™ and LEVERevolution® Powders

Shawnee Mission Kansas, September 2010 – Hodgdon® Powder Company and Hornady® Manufacturing have teamed together to answer the frequently asked reloading question; “Can I buy the powder used in Hornady Superformance and LEVERevolution factory ammunition?”  Beginning in January the answer will be yes.

Hodgdon’s new Hornady Superformance and LEVERevolution reloading powders are the same propellants used in Hornady’s innovative and award winning high performance factory ammunition.  Like its name, Hornady Superformance powder delivers striking velocities –nearly 190 feet per second faster than the nearest competitor in the 300 WSM!  Other top cartridge loads are in the 22-250, 243 Winchester and the 300 Ruger Compact Magnum.  Hornady LEVERevolution powder offers performance in the 30-30 Win. that has never been available previously with handloads. Velocity with a 150 grain bullet is an astounding 2,512 feet per second, that’s 122 fps faster than any 30-30 Win. published load. Both are especially smooth metering Spherical powders that flow easily through a measure.

Hodgdon’s new Hornady Superformance and LEVERevolution powder will be available in one and eight pound containers at dealers everywhere in Spring 2011.  Complete data is always free at hodgdon.com in the Reloading Data Center.
