    No but I didn't know it had been made available. I checked and it is. This could be fun. Now I need to run down and get the new Hodgdon manual and see what it says.

    Just got the new hodgdon book and it is a little short on cal choices but it sure seem intresting to me. Im hoping that it will work in my 250 sav.

    I see they have some data on line including some for the leverevolution powder.

    Is there more in the new manual? They've loaded it in a lot more rounds than listed there.

    I sure hope they will add more data as time goes on, from what i have read it works real well in some cals but the same in others. I wish it would get me another 100 fps out of my 250 Sav. but that cal is most likley at the bottom of the list to try.

    It offers little if any added performance in cartridges they have not listed. They rather strongly suggest that people NOT experiment with it in rounds they don't list. It is a niche propellant, not a general-purpose powder. Dittos for Leverevolution.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Good advice Rocky, I ran through the new manual and there are a few new loadings for both Superformance and Leverevolution, but nothing that will set your hair on fire. Most of the loadings are on the safe side and duplicate or fall shot of the speeds generated by old favorites such as H4350.

    That's exactly what wine companies do as well
