    Yes I agree the results for another powder would change it up a bit. I will repeat the test with stick powder, next time out. I want to use the Ball powder up in large primer cases and save the small primer brass for the hotties. I dont know when Belmont will sell their popwder again and if it will be cheap anymore either.
    Loads tested were in .308 with 155 projo Lapua large and small cases.

    48 grains SMP763 for vel of 2950 fps With MLRP's and LRP's

    47.6 grains 763 vel 2920 as above

    44.4 grains BM8208 vel 3033fps with LRP's and SRP's

    The above is averaged out speeds.
