[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2336977, member: 115658"] During the present component emergency, I managed to buy 3 pounds of 6.5 StaBall at 2 LGS'. Prelim testing in my 7.7 twist .22-.250 with 37.0 grains StaBall, 75 Hornady hpbt, Fiocchi LRP, PPU brass gave me about .5, 5 shot, at 100. Conditions were snowing w 7-10 mph winds at 10 - 11 o'clock. No chrony yet but with a 200 yard zero, 1.25 MOA up, to hit at 300. My guess is just under 3,200 fps. StaBall is denser than 4000MR, another powder I use in the .22-.250. So far, really happy. Pressures seemed to be mild and will go out next week with .3 grain increments. The H .224 75 hpbt is a good cheap bullet. Staball appears to be quite like PP4000MR in burn rate but is denser and I don't plan to use it in bigger cases like 6.5-06 or 6mm-06. [/QUOTE]
