I have a Tikka T3x Superlite in 6.5 CM and could not get it shoot any bullet sub-moa. This gun has a great reputation and think I must have gotten a unicorn. I removed the "speed bumps" from the stock and tested several bullets and powders. I really like Scirocco bullets and wanted a temp stable powder, so thought I'd try StaBALL. I performed a ladder test of 42.1-43.9 grains in .2 increments, loaded several rounds close to the flattest velocity nodew, and found a tack driver. .6 moa at 200 yards. I'm very pleased with the combination.

I have found that StaBall 6.5 indeed produces very accurate groups, in my 300 Wsm it means all bullets in a five shot string will be touching! however this is at an average velocity approximately 100-200 FPS lower than other powders. In my 300 WSM this is a worthwhile trade off for me so I have used it exclusively since finding a load with the Hornady 200 gr Eld-X. In other calibers I have not been impressed with the accuracy or velocity enough to switch from other loads I had already built.

I specifically purchased this powder for 6.5 Creedmoor and 270 Winchester cartridges. The powder meters smoothly and is great in both applications. I am very pleased with this powder!

Seems to give me good, reliable, consistent results. Wide usage, even though I bought it for my 6.5 Creedmore.

very good power

I love this powder and the fact yhat it can be used in multiple calibers is a super plus.

This has become my go to powder. I load two rifle cartridges 233 cal and 6.5 Creedmoor. Gun depending but groups are very consistent across different temperatures throughout the year. Accuracy is only achievable through consistent loads.

This is a fair priced product that meters perfect for precise loading and although not as high of velocity the accuracy was exceptional. Using 143ELDX bullets we shot a 1.6” group at four hundred yards. That is my go to powder for medium weight Bullets and in this case even the 143’s work well with it.

Great alternative to 4350 for 6.5 Creedmoor. Very tight groups with 3 different loads from 2650 to 2850 FPS

In the 7mm-08 it is Great ! increased velocity and temp stability is good , . Varget and H4350 more stable
But this is a wonderful powder

Since the availability of Hodgdon H4350 powder has been difficult to acquire, I purchased the Staball 6.5 powder. I have been pleasantly surprised. It meters well and the powder charge is consistent throughout the reload process. I load 6.5 Creedmoor rounds and have been able to consistently hit targets at 1000+ yards. Burn rate is outstanding and is clean. After firing 50 rounds through my Tikka T3x Superlite you can barely see any residue in the barrel. I highly recommend this powder for reloading long range rifle rounds for hunting or tactical and is now my powder of choice.

Very pleased with the results I'm getting from Staball powder. I have a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. With 43.8 grains of Staball, Fed GM210M primers, Winchester cases, and Sierra 142 grain Matchking bullets I get perfect cloverleaf groups at 100 yards. The smallest was .395 and largest .444 ctc. The standard deviation with this load is a mere 5 fps. Chronographed this load at 2699, 2704, and a duplicate 2704. You can't beat that.

STAball is a wonderful powder. Excellent velocity, excellent accuracy, and meters very consistently in my powder drop. I found it works really well in many cartridges. Planning to start buying it 8# at a time.

I’m really liking the StaBall. I need to shoot it more to get my final thoughts but so far it’s easy to load and handle

Working up the ladder to find the load i wanted was so easy.
This powder produces dependable shot after shot accuracy through my 6.5 Creedmoor. In all four seasons the accuracy is still there with my pet handload.

You can get good speed with it but its SD is horrible. This is across multiple platforms including, 6.5CM, 300 WSM, 308, and my 6.5*284NM. Just seems like temp insensitivity wouldn't really matter as a marketing ploy if it consistently underperforms. It is also difficult to find any node where you can work in. This is verified across two separate Chronographs.

I use the StaBall powder and with very good grooping, @ 3300 fps its flat from 0 tp 400m , My zero is on 250m

I did a complete work up for my 6.5 creedmoor with Hornady brass br-2 primers 130 vld hunters and ended up with inch 3/8 group's at 800 yards and it's repeatable not to mention 3170 fps with 135 a tips before pressure sines I'm a fan!!!

One of the other reviewers stated it would not work well for him. And to that point I have a high dollar rifle that hates STaBall ,will not shoot anything well with it. Have two others that are sub MOA without any issues. Its like any other powder, some rifles will like it, some won't. But I've found that you need to get near max load for the magic to happen. it meters great, and in most of my rifles that are in the usage range for it ,it performs well.

Like it better in my 6gt than varget

Clean burning powder very accurate in the 6.5 Creedmoor

Would recommend this to long range competition shooters

works well with everything I've tried so far from a 108 to 140 grain bullets

The powder is absolutely awesome my only complaint was the $300 price tag with shipping and hazmat it’s very expensive now and I wish it wasn’t so expensive but other than that I am very happy with the Hodgdon product

Great powder.Flows easily.Excellent results for 30-06 reloading
