.340 Weatherby Powder

[MGBV]

Has anyone reloaded .340 Weatherby using Winchester StaBall 6.5 HD? There doesn't appear any data for .340 using this powder that I can find. I plan to use Nosler 200 grain Accubonds.

Thanks!

Staball HD is too slow for the 340wby, that's why there's no data. You can't get enough in the case, even with 300grn Bergers or Sierras. RL19, 22, 23, 26, H4831sc, Imr7828ssc, Magpro, MRP, PP4000MR, N560, those are the real performers. Staball 6.5, Ramshot Hunter, N555, RL16, H4350, Imr4350, AA4350, SW4350, can all also work well, just less velocity and case fill. Staball HD is slower than Retumbo or Ramshot Grand, I seriously doubt you'd get enough of those in there either, and N565 and H1000 can be on the no go list as well.
