[sako2]

Bump

 

[SJB358]

I don't have Staball in my QL edition. Not sure if it in the new one.

 

[sako2]

Thanks. Staball and hybrid 100 are right next to each other on the burn rate chart. Barnes has data for hybrid. I may weigh out that charge and see what the case fill looks like.

 

[SJB358]

Sounds like a plan. Let us know how it goes.

 

[sako2]

Will do.

[jimbires]

my opinion is , there are better choices of powder . the way things are we have to use what we can get .

 

[sako2]

Thanks Jim. I have other powders. I picked up the staball because it was there and only $185 for 8lb. I have magpro, rl23, and 26. I'll try it and if my gun don't like it i'll use it in my 243,270,or 30-06.

 

[sako2]

Where in PA are you located? I'm from the Mt. Carmel area.

 

[jimbires]

heck you're not that far away . I'm in Philipsburg , about 20 mile west of State College .

 

[sako2]

Have you ever been to Centralia? Home of the mine fire.

 

[jimbires]

no , I have not . I have heard about it , but I don't know much .


I think it's in your area where a town has water that can be set on fire . I've seen it on the news where they turn the sink on and light the water . they were using this trying to stop fracking , but this problem was there before the gas industry got big .

 

[sako2]

I'm about 5 minutes from Centralia my wife was born there. The water must be about 2 hrs north of me.

 

[358 WCF]

My parents got married in Mt. Carmel. I remember driving thru Centralia proper before they rerouted Rt.61. My aunt had a house up there (M.C.) she tried to sell me before I left the snow behind. Matucci's had the best pizza I ever tasted & we spent a few summers at a long since disappeared cabin on the creek by Knoebel's. Small world.



My grandfather was pastor at this church in the 40s. Lived in the house to the right.

 

[sako2]

Matucci's is still open. My son's first job while in school was at Knoebels is open to.

 

[358 WCF]

It's 4th generation now I think. My dad went to high school with Eugene (RIP), & Eugene's son was running the place last time I was up there (2013).

My kids still live in PA & go to Knoebel's regularly. I think my dad's 1st job was there in the 40s.

Are any of the Greco's still doctoring?

 

[sako2]

Yes there is a couple Greco Dr's.

 

[sako2]

Well i don't think staball is going to work. Loaded 2 rounds at 54.5 gn and had a heavy bolt lift and swipes on the brass. Ran them over the chrono but it didn't read them. Also tried us869 and they were very slow 2760.
