StaBall Powders Experience

[BPAZ223]

For anyone wondering if Staball HD works in a 6 CM with heavy bullets… it doesn’t.
After seeing reports that Reloader 26 is magic in the Creedmoors, I thought I’d try a similar slow burning magnum primer, ie Staball HD.
Even with 45 grains of it under a 112 Match Burner, I only got 2630 fps. No way I’d have enough case capacity to add another 350 fps I was looking for.

This is opposed to 42.4g of H4350 going 2960 fps from a 20” barrel.

Staball 6.5 is the one to use, about 43-44 grains.
