[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2785306, member: 115658"] Ball powders are now more available than extruded powders. No extruded powders are made in the US now. I trip to my LGS shows about 70 % ball powders to 30% extruded powders. Performance of 36.5 grain StaBall loads in .22-.250 was improved using Fed215M primers over Fiocchi LRP's. My experience has been no hang fires or problems using standard primers at 20F or colder with extruded powders with loads up to 60 grains. Different situation with StaBall - this stuff must have heavy flame-resistant deterrent coatings. I would use magnum primers at any temp with StaBall. 6.5 CM loads using 47 grains of RS Hunter & 120 Barnes Match Burner bullets using SRP CCI 41's showed huge velocity spreads, but situation was improved with SRP Rem 7 1/2's and better yet with Fiocchi LRP's in different brass. 6.5 CM & 6 CM loads using SRP CCI 41's performed well with RL16, SW 4350, AA 4350, & H4350 - all extruded powders. The CCI 34 primers - "For 7.62mm Ammunition/ Large Rifle Military Primers" are intended for 7.62X51 ammo loaded with a variety of powders including ball powders and intended for use under a wide temperature range. 34's are magnum equivalent. Comparisons of StaBall, RL16 & T8000 in .22-.250: [ATTACH alt="Screenshot (607).png"]451678[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="Screenshot (608).png"]451679[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="Screenshot (610).png"]451684[/ATTACH] T8000 is sort of like H4831 and would have comparable deterrent coatings - I got a good stock of it & use it in 75 grain .22-.250 loads. RL 16 is my powder of choice in .22-.250 but not availble. StaBall is available but does better with magnum primers. Only 5 rounds tested - when primers become more available, more testing. A Fed 215 or CCI 34 might improve T8000 loads. I never, ever shot a rodent when the temperature was under 50 degrees F. [/QUOTE]
