StaBall 6.5

I bet this is an interesting powder in 6.5x55 w/ the 120-130 class bullets.

I shot it in 6.5x47 with the 144 Berger bullet. Way to slow MV for my needs. Decent SD however...

Have had outstanding results with it in 6.5CM and 22-250. If I were where any of you guys wanted to sell what you have I would buy it like right now!

So whine on!

Just came back from the range. Chrono'd some 30-06 loads with staball. 168 Nosler Ballistic Tips stayed in lin , 2760s for five at 55gr and a magnum primer. Right in line with the data from Hodgden. Then today I tested 150gr Partitions. I went in one grain increments from 59-63.

59 - 3001
60 - 3077
61 - 3104
62 - 3172
63 - 3246

No pressure signs. That's above what Hodgden was getting and puts it into 300 WM territory. I'm going to work around 62gr and see what happens.

Working up loads with Hornady 100gr ELD-M in 6.5CM. Up to 48gr. Will test them out tomorrow. I am really impressed with this powder so far.

It will be interesting with the small bullets. I think that it really was designed for the heavies.

The 100 ELD's did ok with it. Accuracy was acceptable but the velocity was awesome!
