New Winchester StaBALL Powders

[Jason.n]

The Match powder sounds like a great choice for several calibers. Id love to see it in a 6mm arc with 100+ grain bullets.

Have not been able to get my hands on Retumbo. Anyone using Staball for 300 WM?

over here in Texas we are being told that these new StaBall powders are the IMR Enduron powders just repackaged as WW brand.??

The old Enduron powders were stick. These are advertised as ball. So, probably not.

Ordered some staball match today to test . I've had decent results with Staball 6.5 in my 6.5cm and 153 gr Atips.

Definitely not!

Different powders, different technologies, and from different manufacturers. ('Endurons' from General Dynamics Canada's Valleyfield Quebec plant; StaBALLs from General Dynamics St. Marks, Florida.) Extruded and 'ball' types are manufactured in completely different ways and need to be produced from plants specially built for and geared to the particular type. Valleyfield only makes extruded types; St. Marks makes 'ball' types alone.

Comparing charges and resulting MVs in Hodgdon's annual manual and / or its online Reloading Center would also show there are no matches between StaBALL and any Enduron grade. The problem with inaccurate rumours like this is that some tyro believes it and uses incorrect and potentially dangerous reloading data.

To cap it all, Hodgdon has withdrawn the IMR Endurons with manufacture having been terminated.
