Winchester has two new powders out.
Staball HD is meant for 6.5 PRC-300PRC cartridges. They listed some load data with this new powder, and I can easily outproduce their posted velocities with current powders.
Staball MATCH It's described as a medium-fast burn rate good for PRC competition 6mm ARC, 6mm BR, and 6mm GT.

Next question; When will it be available?

My information comes from Hodgdon 2023 manual on the magazine racks.

If there is a readily available powder that shoots well I am all for it. If it is a ball powder I like that even better. If it is a ball powder with a good case fill, like 95% plus, and it is temp stable I am in heaven. Time will tell for these new ones I guess.

The load data in the pressure tested data looked interesting. HD Similar to magpro/magnum which give excellent speed but temp insensitive. The load data in the article seemed mild
