Has anyone used the Hodgdon Superformance Powder for .35 Whelen with 200 Gr Hornady SP Interlock Bullets? My BIL was using the Factory Superformance 200 Gr Loads @ 2,910 fps & Now cannot Locate any & wants me to Load for him. I pulled a bullet & the charge weighed 63 Grs. Before I continued, I contacted Hornady & they say Hodgdon's Superformance is Not the Same as they use in their Factory Superformance Ammo. What gives, how can Hodgdon call it Superformance? Any Help with this would be Greatly Appreciated. Visually they look the same. His CVA Scout Rifle is Legal for Primitive Big Game Season in Louisiana & Mississippi.😮

I love the 35 Whelen cartridge. Not sure I would want to push that bullet at nearly 3,000fps. I’ve shot it in my 35 REM pistol and it opens up pretty good. I am driving them at a little over 2600fps.
Hornady has Superformance loads in many cartridges. I am sure the blend they use for each cartridge varies.
