Hey everyone, looking at a new load for my tikka 708, using staball and 140berger vld, anyone use this new powder yet, and have any advice?!

Thanks !!!

I just got a lb of it to try, heard it was supposed t be awesome!

Been running it the last week or so in my 6.5x55 and have had nothing but good results. I am finding lower end of the loading on 85grn bullets is going to make a coyote or two sorry this winter. I want more!!

I just ran some tests using it with my 140vld, I can definitely say it's a fast powder. Hit 3000 fps with no pressure at 51.3 grains. But I've only seen one velocity node at 2845 fps so far.

looks promising, working on a load outta daughters xbolt 708 139 gr hornady gmx, stopped at 51.5, more testing in near future

Did you stop due to pressure at 51.5??

Well I did some more tests, one shot each looking for a velocity node, and there's one at 48-48.5 gr, 2845fps, and another it seems at 51.6-51.9 grains, at 3035 fps, with no pressure so far. Well see how it groups compared to h4350!

48.2 grains with a 140 nosler BT is great out of my tikka t3x 5 shot group .5 inch

160 Nosler Accubond, 47.2gr StaBALL6.5, Win brass, Fed210M, 2.795”, 2620 fps from my 22” Browning A-bolt. As accurate as any of my loads in this rifle.

Faster than H4350 by a bit before I hit pressure signs.

Happy shooting.
