Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Winchester StaBall 6.5

I recently bought 8 lbs as well. In a .243 Ruger #1 with 26 inch barrel, 90 grain Nosler Accubond I got 3250 fps with decent accuracy, but I found that SD wasn't great at first. I think this powder works best if loaded to fill the case - best accuracy and SD for me came with 46 grains (Hodgon data tops out at 45 grains with a 90 grain Speer bullet, so start low and work up).
