Does anyone have experience with the new Hornady SUPERPERFORMANCE ammunition?
I am curious to know if it would hurt the gas system/rod/reciever on the M1A.
The Hornady website says that this ammo delivers 100-200 extra fps and I have always heard to stay away from "light magnum" type of loads with the M1A.
Here is the relevant info from the hornady website (http://www.hornady.com/store/Superformance/)
The Superformance solution is an elegant approach that utilizes specialized powders…at NORMAL charge weights, that impart ALL useable energy to the bullet reducing the ROCKET NOZZLE EFFECT at the muzzle while still increasing velocity!
Versatile
Superformance provides increased performance, and is safe to use in ALL firearms, including semi-autos, lever gun and pump actions.
