Midway has 1 lb cans of StaBall 6.5 right now
Thanks for sharing.Midway has 1 lb cans of StaBall 6.5 right now
If you ever get up to Indianapolis I've got an extra 8 lb jug I could help you withMissed out any other places?
I get about 100 fps more velocity with StaBall over H4350 in a 22 inch 7-08 with 140 gr bullet. 2940 fps. and that staying 1 grain under max load. It is a good powder for 6 creed, 6.5 creed, 243 and it will put some zip in your ole 130 gr. 270 load.Do people like staball now?
As with anything, YMMV and people have varying experiences.Do people like staball now?
I have friends with similar results. I will be trying them on my 6.5 CM and .30 Gibbs soon.I get about 100 fps more velocity with StaBall over H4350 in a 22 inch 7-08 with 140 gr bullet. 2940 fps. and that staying 1 grain under max load.

What is your ES and SD in the 7-08? I have a lb of Staball I picked up to try in my 6.5 Creed, with H4350 and RL16 I get low ES and SD and accuracy is .50 to 1.0 MOA with 140 Berger Elite's, but had a heck of a time getting to that accuracy with the Berger. I get a consistent .50 to .60 MOA with 124 HH using RL16, I just started working with 110 HH, using RL16, just two shot groups to conserve bullets, but have noticed .375 and .408 MOA on two loads so far, have not finish running it up to see if I can get pressure yet.I get about 100 fps more velocity with StaBall over H4350 in a 22 inch 7-08 with 140 gr bullet. 2940 fps. and that staying 1 grain under max load.

What might not work on one load development/chambering, might work on another.I thought it worked pretty well when I tried it. Itt seems it's a love it or hate it powder
