   6.5 Staball will give more speed but at the sacrifice of temp sensitivity. If you have a good load sorted already with 2209, i would stick with that. If you look hard enough, you will find some. Bit...

   Man, your probably stressing over nothing. Just do some ladder testing to make sure it's safe and put a new load together. They designed it to be less temp sensitive than normal ball powders. And...

   Last time I looked there was still some 2209 floating around the latest shipment of ADI didn't sell out instantly like previous ones. If you have ample primers then go ahead and develop a load...

   You should be able to use StaBall to drive a 130-143gr bullet to at least the same velocity as you get with 2209. So yes it's a viable backup option in that sense. It might not be 42gr that does...

   Quickly looked up the data for stability 6.5 for the 243 on the hogdon site. Got a 100gps and change over 2209 but their max pressure was 8000psi higher too. Obviously there is the science of slower...

   StaBall should be faser but being a ball power you will likely find you are able to fit more powder into the case than 2209, so you'll get higher velocities but be burning more powder (not a crazy...

   Interesting observations. My current experiments with cartridges that run both sizes have left me scratching my head. In 224 Valkyrie and 6.8SPC I have brass with both sizes. Using 224V Starline...

   SRPs work great with fast powers, ie 308, not so good with slower powders 6.5 CM Also some rifles like RPR's don't hold hands well with SRP & top end loads, the firing pin is to big & primer too...

    I'm running 308 SRP in Lapua and Peterson. Need to factor in the fact that the cost of SRP Lapua Palma is greater than LRP Lapua. And it seems that the Palma brass usually disappears off the shelves...

    Greetings, Ball powders are harder to ignite and some older manuals recommended using Large Rifle Magnum primers for them. GPM.
