What Cartridge? Dasher?

Yes sorry

 

[Ray123]

Has anyone ran this powder in a dasher yet?

Yep wrote up the results...some time ago, in 6 Dasher 6.5 Staball will run the 107 SMK in the 3140 fps area...or 110 gr SMK at 3085 is a good general LR steel load...exact loading data posted.
Or some 58 gr Varmint bullets at 4100 fps with good results with CFE 223.
Or standard loadings with Varget or RL15 and Berger match bullets 2975 to 3020 fps area for nice tiny groups. The 6 dssher is quite versatile.

.104
this is my coyote rifle, I was shooting suppressed off a bipod and rear bag……

 

[762willdo]

This stuff is DIRTY, first 3-4 patches come out pitch black like coal…..
if anyone knows about the temp sensitivity I would appreciate the info.

RL 15 is dirty also. But many top shooters will grab it off the Prize Table every time. Any powder that can produce winning targets is fine with Me. I’ll deal with the cleaning later. There’s very little difference between clean powder cleaning and dirty powder cleaning.

 

[762willdo]

I agree with you 100%. I wasn’t complaining it was just an observation.

In my experience with, 2 Rifles ( 6 XC and 6.5 Creed ) and 5 Bullets / Loads, tried, regular StaBall 65, has worked BEST at, Max to, very Near Maximum, charges.
40.5 grs of it with, Sierra 107 MK's at, Lite Jam, gets me into, the .2's and 3's in my 6 XC.
That same charge of, StaBall puts 5 shots, into, Sub 1/2 MOA groups with Horn 103 ELD-X's, for my LR Coyote load.
