I recently bought some of this powder to see if it would improve the heat sensitivity of the powders I hunt with in Texas, Average temperatures during hunting season here is 25o F to 65o F and loads were worked up around 50o F. cartridges are the 260 Rem and the 7/08 Rem.
Fastest powder at SAMMI pressures has been Varget, Most accurate has been H 414. H 414 does not work @ temps over 90o F because pressures exceed SAMMI recommendations due to it's heat Insensitivity.
I was hoping that the Staball would cure this and still give good accuracy. The Video did not show this unfortunately so I will have to find out for my self. My intent is to duplicate the test In my rifles at hunting temperatures and Off season Highs (90o +). I see no reason the heat my ammo above ambient temp up to 100o F, so my test will/should be real world test. And use the low average ( 40 o to 50 o F For the cold temperatures).
H 4350 did well in the video but I cant get the accuracy I do with H 414 so it has been my back up powder.
Any experience with this powder that could be shared would be greatly appreciated.
