I was never able to get decent accuracy at 600 yards from Staball 6.5 out of my 6.5CM. And the SD on 10 shot strings never once dropped below 15fps
Not everyone can, but if you watch Powder Valley closely...and I won't admit how often I do some days....they actually get most of these in stock here and there. I've seen H4895 in stock several times recently, I got some H4831 a few weeks back. H4350 was actually in stock for awhile today, as was H1000 and Retumbo shockingly enough. I just couldn't get in fast enough to get in on H1000, I still don't understand how their stocking works, seems like lots were being up throughout the day then selling out again. Over the past couple months I'd restocked almost all my core powders there.
I'm going to assume you're ordering online? The last powders I would get away from are the IMR line. I find they are much more available during panic/shortages because they are just across the Canadian border. I see them regularly at the usual suspects online.
It was developed for that exact cartridge back in the early '60's. I use IMR 7828 in the .270 Win, 300 H&H, and Rem 7mm Mag also.
Agreed. Alliant seems to have the worst availability during any panic/shortage. After decades of using Alliant in shotgun and pistol I gave up back during the Sandy Hook days. When supply came back in 2016-ish I bought a couple 5#'ers of RL-7 and RL-15 because I like it for cast bullet shooting.
Thanks, yes online, locally, you name it. I watch about 9 different websites as much as possible and you all have been a big help brining my attention to some vendors I had never heard of. Another issue I'm having is finding brass for the 6.5 300 Weatherby Mag! Holy cow! I won this gun two years ago and still haven't put my hands on any brass. Have the load and powder I want for it but as of now, all I can do is throw the leads and my arm is shot! Haha!
