I bought a 30 TC Icon.  I really like the action, got it cheap because they are dumping that caliber in an Icon.  I had intended to rebarrel it maybe.
But!!!
I shot a .5" group at 200 yds.
I bought some Superformance powder hoping to approximate the Hornaday factory load.
As far as I can tell there is no loading data for this cartridge/powder combination.
Can anyone help?

From what I understand, the superformance powder has nothing to do with the factory rounds. Each round is a blend of powders to get the best performance possible

I have a jug of the stuff bought during the panic with the seal still intact due to this

Superformance powder has a burn rate Slower that the 4831s.  It is Waaaay to slow for the 30 TC.

The problem with this powder is that someone, somewhere, somehow managed to convince the Public that this powder is the same stuff used in Hornady Superformance Ammunition.  This may be true in some of the larger/magnum cartridges, but it is certainly NOT true in the Superformance ammo like the 30-TC and the 223-5.56.
