StaBALL 6.5

[Red_Mist]

New powder out from Winchester StaBALL 6.5 looks promising. Anyone have their hands on it yet ? Any feedback ?

I should have some in a few weeks. Looking forward to trying some and testing it this winter, and comparing it to results next summer.

Will be good to see your results/experience with it. What caliber are you going to try it on? I'm hoping to squeeze out a few more fps out of my 30.06 sprg.

Well fellas, what’s the verdict? Anyone had a chance to test this stuff yet? Is it as magical as Hodgdon claims?

I've shot a little bit in my 22 Creedmoor, 6mm and 260. Will be able to compare winter results to hotter temps later this year

Forgive my ignorance, but where's it fall on the burnrate chart compared to the H4350 I'm seeing it compared to?

I loaded some 123 ELD-M with StaBall 6.5 and shot them in my BCL102 6.5 creedmoor with awesome results, I used 42.5 gr of powder, I'm going to shoot a ladder test with it now, I have loaded 41gr increasing by .3 up to 43.7gr, I picked up my powder at higginsons he had a skid of it.

Did you Chrono or Radar the FPS of those loads ? if so FPS ? RJ

I'm not a big ball powder for accuracy fan...you can get impressive velocity, but I have doubts about the ES and consistency. Probably a good hunting powder, not going to be "the bomb" for accuracy.

This Thursday I’m going to shoot them over the chrony, I’ll post my results
