OK... a little bad news that I have found... And this is not first hand information... There is a group if folks in Pennsylvania own/or work in a sporting goods store. They have had the 'Super Powder' for 3 months now and had been shooting and testing it in their ML's. They have declared it unsatisfactory for their applications and have returned to shooting T7.
I still remain 'open' to trying it...

Didn't they do the same thing with JSG. It's the same powder as the APP, but a little more refined.
I had someone tell me that JSG isn't really made better to start with. It's just the best version of APP when it's made. It makes you wonder why they can't make all APP to the level of JSG?
I guess kitty litter is hard to control.
The only Super Powder is BH 209.

Not only seen it, but used it.
It doesn't come close to flowing like T7. I couldn't even get it to flow out of my powder horn. T7 does fine.
Nothing flows like BP. Especially Swiss. It flows like salt.
BH 209 is chunky too.

I would have to take issue with that... 3f JSG is much larger than 2f T7. I tried using JSG-3f for Rondy shoots... I could not even get it to flow through the flask to get it into a volume measure.
