I like how you keep the numbers to a minimum, making it easier without a bunch of confusing numbers. Great job

“I’m looking for powder charge with small groups with consistent velocity.” Welcome to the world of reloading, you hooked now! You are one of us!! if you want my advice, don’t change .1 increments. It’s not enough difference to make a difference and you’ll drive yourself crazy. Dan Newberry says that as well. What I would do is change my base charge by .2 and shoot .4 increments. See if it repeats. So shoot 41.7, 42.1, 42.5, and 42.9, (43.3 if your comfortable) and see what that ocw looks like. Just what has worked for me! Keep at it, it’s a lot of fun to watch new people get into it!

StaBall gives me unbelievable velocity, SD, and ES in my 20" 6.5CM. Single digit SD, ES below the teens, and around 2700fps with 140 RDF at max charge. It's inexpensive and abundant in my area! Couldnt ask for anything better.

I am pretty impressed with Sta-bal so far. I have tried it in a few cartridges now. It has won a few and has always at least been a strong contender.

I am doing my own idiot temperature test of H4350 vs Staball 6.5. The Staball has done very well.

Good info. We have been really pleased with Staball6.5 in our guns 30/06, 7mm Rem Mag and 243. Very consistent, accurate and impressive velocities.

Just sat down to trim brass. So nice to have this to listen to at the same time. Cheers

*West Desert Shooter* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring this info to us. GOD Bless.

Thanks for the vid drop

Excellent video, Logan

Great video. I’ve been wanting to try 6.5 Staball. Thanks

Another great video 👍

I like the amount of detail you provided.

Good video.

Good info buddy, have a good one!

VERY nice instructional video.

Interesting stuff! 😊

Great video. This what makes reloading Fun. 👍☕️

That's crazy..42.7 has been a lot of shooters go to charge for the 6.5 staball. I got a 0.423 with a 6 shot group.

Enjoyed the video. Subbed!

In my experience staball likes the higher charge weights, sd and es tend to shrink and velocity goes up. So i would definitely go up a little more and see what it does.

Sometimes I feel lost when reloading, after watching KZfaq reload vids it makes me feel like I'm good. You do things very similarly to the way I do things. Try some reloads, note the outcome, and make changes or not depending. nice video

I like that 130 grain ELD match.... It shoots really good out of my Ruger precision rifle... I like the 6.5 however I like the Winchester 748 better with that 130 grain bullet....

cool video, man. did any of the velocities from 42.4 gr of staball fall in the range of velocities of the 42.7 grain load? somewhere within the minimum and maximum velocity of the 42.7 load? or above that too?

I’ve had good luck with Staball6.5 with the 123 and 130 ELD-Ms. It’s not optimal for the 123s but it’s worked well for me. It doesn’t compare to H4350 obviously since that’s the golden boy powder for the Creedmoors but it’s a good fallback powder and I can’t argue with $228 for 8lbs at all. I don’t have any experience with any of the Reloder powders as they aren’t really available where I live

You're doing a good job if you're loading length is limited to one one length one less thing you have to mess with that is not a bad

I just picked up a pound of RL TS 15.5 for heavy bullets in 223. My local dealer told me that Alliant raised their prices by 30 percent! That pound that I bought yesterday was $70. The dealer told me that the 8 pounder would be well over $400...

For load development I shoot my groups the same way as you do : one bullet of each charge... to avoid the effect of barrel heating and wind. My bud and me have tried to make the 6.5CM work (two different custom rifles), but we gave up after 1000 rounds (unconsistent groups, poor accuracy around 0.75' at 100yds for 5 shots). I dont know what's wrong with this cartridge but it's very hard to tune vs .308Win. What do you think about it ?

Which Hornady book are you going off please? Could you post a picture of the 130eldm

Trying to move my powders to the Staball line for 223, 308, 6 and 6.5 creedmoor & 6.5 Grendel. Thanks for this test. Might resurrect my Valkyrie also.

How much bullet jump is really a concern? If you load to max oal, chamber a round without maring the jacket, isn't that the best you could do? Is there a sweet spot?

Have you tried a "chamber - chiller"?

I didn’t catch what primers you are using. Enjoyed the video

If you can find it get some vihtavori n555, you will be impressed

Im 19 and ive thought about getting into reloading, do you think it would be beneficial for me to spend the money on the equipment or should I just put that money into more factory ammo to practice?

Promo sm 🔥

What chrono mount?

Am I losing my mind, or is this a re-upload?

Reloader 15 go faster and it's temp stable, unlike RL16

Good info buddy, have a good one!
