Staball 6.5 is ~basically~ a temperature stable Win 760/H414.
Maybe Grand is a temp stable Ramshot Magnum. Or at least close.
Ramshot Grand, and did it replace Magnum?

I have found Ramshot magnum to be pretty decent in temp stability.

I'm using StaBall 6.5 in my 300 WSM. Pushing a 150 TTSX @ 3205 with great SDs. Love it!
Staball 6.5 just may be the best 300 WSM powder around!
They told me it would be another year before we see it.
Well, that's not ideal.
I agree! I hate when they roll something new out and then can't put it on the shelves for two years.

Willing to bet that Ramshot Magnum is being dropped as an imported powder and Hodgdon will drop H1000 and repackage it as Ramshot Grand (St Marks) with maybe the temperature tweaks. Might change it a little but it fits with Hodgson's past tricks.
H1000 SDS isn't listed on the Hodgdon Site.

Not wanting to de-rail here, but my question is semi-relevant 
Am I correct in thinking double-based powders (while giving slightly improved velocity) are harder on barrels than single-based powders?
I was thinking RS Magnum was a single-based spherical powder?
