    SHOT SHOW 2020: Reloading for 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Stopped at the Hodgdon's booth see if they had anything new to share; this one may be of interest to 6.5 Creedmoor reloaders. The promised performances are rather impressive. We'll have to try and see if the powder lives up to them.Name:  20200122_115427.jpg

    They seem to be making a big deal out of it being ball, hence the name etc.

    It should meter good - most Winchester ball powders do in my experience.

    STABALL™ 6.5
    StaBALL 6.5 is the world’s first temperature-insensitive BALLŪ Powder, stable in extreme-hot or -cold conditions. It provides optimal loading density in cartridges appropriate for the burn speed, which is ideal for 6 Creedmoor, 6GT, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7MM-08, 270 Winchester and many more.

    Typical of a ball powder, precise metering contributes to improved velocity and pressure standard deviations, ingredients that are paramount to match grade accuracy!

    This “environmentally green” propellant has copper fouling reducer additives, meaning longer durations of competition and field shooting without having to clean the bore. Precision accuracy throughout the match!

    Velocity levels obtainable, depending on the cartridge, are 30-200 fps greater than other propellants in its class.

    I have some and i am loading up some 6.5 CM loads - RJ

    Apparently it's more temperature stable than most spherical powders, but less than even average extruded powders. Probably won't beat Varget in temperature stability, though Varget is pretty mediocre for max velocity in the 6.5 creedmoor.

    Found this link but I can't watch it (at work)

    [QUOTE=Astute Observer;16631186]but less than even average extruded powders...

    I should correct myself to say, "less temperature stable than the better extruded powders"
