Winchester Powder

Read some other reloading articles last night using the staball match in other cartridges. Maybe there is a home for it, just not with the calibers that I'm shooting.

I am going to get some of the standard staball 6.5 and try it in the 7-08. The numbers are hugely quicker than even the H4350, which is surprising in itself. Over 200 fps faster. May be a month or so before I can see what difference if any, but worth a try for me while I hunt some of the staball HD to try.

Is Staball 6.5 still being made? I haven't seen any in quite a while. - dan

Was able to run some more testing last night at 100 m. Was fine tuning for powder amounts. Best group was just over 1/4".

Will be loading some more of this for the next trip out planned for Sat. I'll hit the long range and see what it can do out to 1000m. My initial redneck testing has the rounds hitting about 2" lower than my H1000 loads. This doesn't mean a lot with out an actual chrony, until I test at distance, but it is interesting to see. Could just be barrel harmonics at work as well. Will get back to this after distance testing and seeing dope required to get there.

Ran to a max charge of 59.6 gr using a cci250 primer, adg brass, and 156 gr EOL bullets. The charge I'll go forward with is sitting at 57.3 gr.

Powder is bit larger grain size than staball, so it trickles well.
