Powder Talk

I recently came across StaBall powder it is recommended for 6.5cm, 7-08, 270 and others. I looked up the stats for 6.5swede and they looked exciting. But then, I thought can this new powder really achieve slightly better results than H4350.

Does Hodgdon Lvr for 30-30 work better as well or just stick with normal average powder?

Or does it come down to needing to try them and see if results work to the advantage.

After rereading the Reloading book I found my answer. I'm realizing I to let go of over thinking possibilities.

Personally, I prefer the "test them all" method, because you get to shoot more.
And time at the reloading bench is way more therapeutic than the couch in a doctor's office.

I'm with Paul on this... to a fault. There's always a powder on the shelf that I feel like I ought to try at least once. Maybe it's the quarantine talking, but Paul, you might have a great business concept there: "The 12 Step Reloading Bench." Kind of a Dr. Phil meets Nathan Foster thing. What could go wrong?

David, I'm glad you found sound direction in the book. I'm afraid the "phantom fiddler" is strong in a few of us on here.

Right you are, Joshua. After I stopped chuckling and the seriousness of this condition sunk in, I went to my inventory list. Not counting pistol powders, there are thirteen powders listed. IMR, Hodgdon, Alliant, Vihtavouri, and Nobel. I need help. Serious help.

Re: Powder Talk
Hi guys has anyone tried this powder yet?
Read on another site that it’s hard to clean up?
How have you found this?
Cheers
