Nrut,
Apparently you, like many, do not know the difference in PSI and CUP.
Also, "similar" does NOT mean "exactly the same."
I said: "In the 708 with 150gr. bullets H4350 and StaBall aren't even close in max. load or vel."
I don't see where I said anything about pressure ( PSI or CUP) at all, and that wasn't the jest of my post..
Looking at the pressures now I see the H4350 is running over 50,000 CUP (51,500 CUP) which is up there..
Most CUP pressure tested loads I see in manuals are 50,000 CUP or under..
Most PSI pressure tested loads are 60,000 PSI and under with some in the 62-63 range..
The Hodgdon StaBall load for the 708/150gr bullet is under 60,000 CUP
And yes I know there is a difference between PSI and CUP..
As far as your comment: "simular" does NOT mean "exactly the same"!
I understand that, so my question to you is what was the Winchester rep meaning when he told Swed65 that "this powder will be similar to H4350" ??
So my question to you, in what way do "you" see the similarity between these two powders?
And have you talked to the Winchester rep or Hodgdon rep about StaBall?
Going by Hodgdon Data they aren't similar in vel. and grains of powder for max. loads..
