[QUOTE="Sockeye66, post: 2588355, member: 113619"] I'm going off memory here (been a few years), I did try Staball with 140gr bullets and IIRC it did OK but not near what RL23, RL26,or Retumbo offers for speed or accuracy. The lighter bullet may be a different story. I just looked at a post I did from 2020 and I started at 44gr @ 2575fps and finished with 47gr @ 2774, I had planned on testing that further but don't believe that I did. That testing was with a 140gr Speer Gold Dot and 46gr and 47gr were accurate. 51.8gr of RL23 pushes that same bullet at 2970 fps. If Staball is what you have I think it would be worth a try, the mid 40's were where I started because I had no data to go by either. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
