Stabal Match in 6mm BR

[Olddog2]

I picked up some Stabal Match and have heard it delivers virtually the same velocities/pressures as Varget, but I can't find any real data to verify this. Can anyone point me to data for this, or has anyone had experience loading it? Not a fan of reloading by hearsay.

I think Hodgdons website may be the only place for some data. Dont recall seeing 6br

Something seems off on this. Shows rem case and a 9 twist. 29.0 grains of varget and 107 smk is not going to be compressed in a lapua case unless it is really deep in case

This load Data may be for a 6 BR Remington which is different from a 6 BR Norma.

Yes, it is for the 6 BR Rem. That was in order to draw a parallel to Varget.
For whatever reason, the Hodgdon site is only showing Accurate powders for the 6 BR Norma.

I knew what you were doing, I just thought I would clarify for Mudduck. Some people don't realize there is a difference

 

[RegionRat]

I wonder why they only show the Accurate powders for the 6 BR Norma these days?
They also skipped showing 6 BR in their 2023 annual, but they included ARC and Dasher, then jump up to GT? Even there, they show StaBall6.5 but not Match. Time will tell.

6xc is the same way, Nosler uses diff powders try the nosler data it may have something

I’m not sure y they when even included the rem version of it. Can’t be many if anyone shooting the rem version

Hodgon's new burn rate chart shows Staball Match to be just slightly slower than Varget if this helps.

as for 6BR remigton, the neck is .040" shorter than a 6BR norma. Also, Remington brass is much heavier and thicker than Lapua brass.
