Staball 6.5 as good as they say?

I use it with 150 eldx in my 7-08. The load I settled on is going 2,710 fps but went up to 2,860 before seeing pressure. I’m plenty happy with the results. 7-08 is a fun one to reload for.

Works well in my 300 WSM. Started with magnum primers, good velocity but meh accuracy. Switched to Fed large rifle and got great accuracy and single digit SD’s.

I’m whipping up an NRL powerfactor load for 6.5cm and 147eldm with it right now. Just need to be above 2585 with my 18” barrel.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

Got out to the range today after work.
6.5cm NRL powerfactor is the goal.
18” tikka barrel. OG65
Painless load dev.

43.0gr staball 6.5
147 eldm
Starline brass
Winchester large rifle magnum primers (bcause I have 5k of them)
2.81” coal.

Averaged 2520fps.
Spread of 20fps.
No pressure issues.
accuracy was at least as good if not better than this guns average with H4350.

For the cost per lb, and for how easy it was to work with, I think it’s worth stocking up on.
