I would recommend contacting Hodgdon direct. A friend was able to get some load data for a .204 that way.
As a aside, be careful with that powder. It has a low threshold for overpressure, meaning as you get close to a max load it goes from "Ok that's getting warmer" to "Why wont the bolt open" within a .5 grain window.
In the peak of the powder war of a buddy tried working up a load with some as he could find the powder. Ended up galling a 700 action working up in .5 grain increments. (308)

They list in the hornady manual.
I use it to replicate the hornady superformance ammo with the 129gr SST in my 6.5CM.
The factory ammo shoots good for me. But I remember when i did my load workup, it was like, well this isn't going very well to holy shit that's an accurate load. Didn't push it beyond that. I know I'm still a bit below book max with it.

My issue is hodgdon didn't have it listed on there website for 260 but I know people who shot it in there 260 and creedmoor's
Got this email from Hornady regarding the question of using Superformance for .308 WIN: asked if they had any data, "We do not The Superformance you and I can buy over the counter is not the same as the powder we use to load our ammunition. The burn rate of Hodgdon's Superformance is not compatible with that cartridge. Our Superformance powder used the canister powder as a base and we add other commercial powders or components to it."
