Winchester Stabal HD

[wvbuckbuster]

Has anyone used this powder and if so, which cartridges was it used in?

I have used it in my 300 RUM so far. Pretty similar to Retumbo from what I’ve seen. I haven’t had the chance to try it in much else but I have 8lbs of the stuff.

I've started some load development in the 25-06 with 120PTs, going well so far, really good velocity and the ladder had a decent grouping. Going to load a couple rungs hotter and decide where to settle in.

I've tried it in a 6.5 prc. Like Scotty said it's similar to Retumbo.

Tried it in my 6.5 PRC. Was not a fan.

Average accuracy. SD/ES numbers were well above what I can get with n565/n165/h4831sc. Velocity wasn't impressive. I gave up on it for serious applications. The remaining amount i've got will go towards fireforming brass or sighter rounds to warm things up.

I've used it in 7 Rem Mag, 7mm PRC and 6.5 PRC. So far it has been accurate in the PRC's but velocity has been off from published loads by 100+ fps. I still want to try it further with higher charge weights but overall it hasn't been bad at all. The 7 RM loads have given good velocity in one rifle but accuracy hasn't been great. I think it has potential for sure.

I’m going to put considerable priority into loading Staball HD in 7mm Rem Mag, and 270 WSM this year. Have any of you used or worked with it, and if so what were your impressions? I’ve dabbled with it a little in 7mm Rem Mag and results are encouraging. It may end up being too slow for the 270 WSM. Currently RL23 feeds my WSM and does well.

Seems about like Retumbo for me. I like the stuff. Should work great for the 270 WSM.
