[QUOTE="Louisiana Reloader, post: 3026881, member: 123382"] I commented earlier on using LRT for 150 grain bullets in my 28 Nosler. I noticed where you commented about StaBall HD. I also have two 6.5 PRC's (that I love by the way) and I have been looking for a substitute for RL26 since it is non-existent. I've tried many, many different powders--including StaBall HD. The StaBall HD metered perfectly; however, with my 24" barrels it was the slowest in all my tests. I just ran out of barrel and case to be able to get enough of it to match the speeds of the other powders I tested. The highest velocities I got were from PP4000MR; however, I had pressure issues. So far, my best results in the 6.5 PRC have come from VV N565 in terms of velocity and group size. Based on my data, it seems that VV N565 is as close to RL26 as you can get. I realize this post is about powder options for 300 RUM and 7mm RUM; however, I am curious about what kind of performance you got with the StaBall HD in 6.5 PRC. Thanks [/QUOTE]
