Staball Match

[remington jim]

Who’s loading Staball Match in there 308Win target rifles ? How’s it comparing to Varget for you ? FPS & Accuracy RJ

 

[gaudzy]

been using it for a while now and getting excellent results. My rifle seems to prefer the Staball Match over the Varget. I have a drop of about 50fps from Varget but my accuracy, ES and SD all improved.

Wow only one 308 Staball Match powder shooter ? RJ

 

[todbartell]

I use it, but in superior cartridges

 

[jimbo14]

Most YouTube videos I saw didn’t see great results, so I never tried it.

I actually have used it in my 308 hunting rifle, just to burn up some odds and ends 165 & 180gr bullets I had laying around. I can post up my powder charges / speeds later if it helps anybody

I have a couple lbs on the shelf but haven’t got into it because I have an accurate load with Varget.

no input, i don't use that powder

 

[rideonjon]

My experience has been the same as Gaudzy,a drop in speed from other powders(CFE223/TAC) but good accuracy,ES and SD's.
I'm using it in a .223 rem.

I tested Stabl Match in two 308 rifles this week. At 1000 yards, with Berger 155s, 47.5 gr averaged 3055 fps with excellent SD. (32" barrel)

In a 26" barrel'

168 MK 44gr 2738 fps
210Mk 43 gr 2527 fps

Being a ball powder, I will eventually compare a stnd primer to a magnum or a Winchester standard.

It would be nice to have an accurate load made with a Dillon. Ball powder meters so well.
