280AI and Staball 6.5

[Carlos88]

I've been using H4350 and a 145 LRX. Anyone try Staball 6.5 and any combination of bullets? Going to try it in my tried and true Kimber.

Works okay with lighter bullets, I just hate ball powders. It's not that temp stabile, I have always used H4831sc instead. Shooting heavy bullets I use a magnum powder like n560 or n565

My 280AI likes H4831SC and Reloder 22 with Barnes bullets. I tested a number of powders and these 2 did the best

Bumping this to see if anyone's tried 6.5 Staball in 280AI lately? New to 280 AI and I have an 8lb jug.

Reviving this thread.

I'm going to start load development with the 145gr LRX and SB6.5 as well - has anyone else done so?

I'll be seating .055 off the lands and starting my charge weights @56.5gr, working up to 60gr in .5gr increments - this is typically how I start out and has worked well for me. RL19 runs very well in both my 280AI's, SB6.5 should run even better (wishful thinking, but that's how we roll!)

Load some up and try it. Sheeesh
