Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles .280 Rem loads with Staball6.5?

I just picked up a couple lbs. of Staball6.5. Has anyone tried this for .280 Remington, especially in the 139/140 grain bullet class? I would love to hear how it worked.

Me too! I got lucky and scored a couple of pounds, also. Doing some interpolation of data I've been able to find without too much digging, it looks like a starting load with a 140 gr bullet might be around 50.0 gr for about 2800 fps. CAREFULLY working up, max load might be around 55.0 gr for a little over 3000 fps. I make NO claims for the safety of this load data. This is nothing more than my speculation and interpolation and I have NOT tested this load data. Anyone that uses this data does so at their own risk.
