I started working up a load with the hodgdon superperformance powder with 130 eldm. I started at 46.3 grains and worked up .2 gn up to 46.9. the book max was 46.7
my velocity at 46.9 was 2874 with an sd of 8 and es of 19 the shot group was just under a half inch.
I'm curious if anybody else is having similar results or if anyone has used this powder bullet combo.
 
I'm Still testing it. I'm using a 143 ELD-X over 47.4
Avg velocity was 2980 using Alpha SRP brass. It was accurate but had a heavy bolt lift and pressure signs.
Backing the charge a bit and do more testing...

I've used superformance and creedmoor. It's a powder that is close from one wieght to another. Same load fof 130, 140. Never got to 147s. I use superformance with good brass b/c the powder works well the decreased volume.

It's a powder that has one speed, but is pretty good.

Superformance may be a bit too slow for the 130. But if it's the numbers you like and work for your purposes, then make a shit ton of that ammo and send it.

For 130's I love me some Reloder 16. Somewhere between 42.7 and 43.1 should be delicious. 2900 with single digit SD's regardless of powder temps has been my experience.
 
I’m still messing with it I loaded some in Peterson brass 2.82 coal (mag length) .035 jump 46 g powder gave me 2855 avg and 6 for an sd this was only over 5 shots I’m going up with the charge weight until i find pressure. Shot out of the back of my truck it was muddy as shit where I was shooting
