[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 1963078, member: 68015"] Never tried the Staball but ball powders and double base powders in general are quite temp sensitive. During testing in my 243ai using H-414 I got HUGE pressure spikes and loads were just too unpredictable so I scrapped it and havent used it since. Another powder you might want to try is Reloder 16. My 243ai, 250ai, and 7x57ai's love the stuff. Very accurate, very temp stable, and a decoppering agent has kept my copper fouling with barnes bullets to near zero. Lastly, it gives high velocities at low pressures. The only down side was getting enough into a case to max it out. Never tried it in 308 , 260, or 7-08 though. Reloder 26 is driving 100 gr TSX to over 3300 in my 257ai with no pressure signs. I've found Ramshot Hunter and Big Game to be good in temp swings for ball powders. [/QUOTE]
