Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Staball 6.5

270win 130sp what's your thoughts on using 6.5 with hornandy spirepoints. Got two pounds to use up.

Should work. Personally, I prefer something a tad slower burning, such as H4831.

Go to the Hodgdon site. They list Staball and the 130-grain S.P. Looks like a good combo. Worth a try.

Give it a try. Can't go wrong if you have it on hand.

I've used it with other 130gr bullets and give good accuracy and speed. Good powder and available, for now.

I get great accuracy and speed in my pre 64 M70 std. with 130 gr. Sierras and Hornady sst's. Went a couple grains higher than listed in Hodgdens Annual Reloading guide.

Hip

I'm using stabil to get a 160 partition to 2800 in a savage 270.

Works well in my 6 creed with 105 or 109 burgers. I got a bunch when you couldn't get h4350 and haven't looked back.

Like it!

I haven't tried it in a 270win, but it works well for me in 6.5 CM, 7x57, 280AckImp, and 338-06.

84, what’s your combo for the 338-06?

Might have to try that myself. Have an alternative for H 380 loads... with a little temp stability thrown in...

So far I've only tried it with the 225gr Speer BTSP. I don't remember the exact powder charge I landed on but it printed 4 under ¾ inch and gave an avg vel of 2653fps from my 22in bl. I found the data on the Hodgdon Data Center listed with a 225gr Hornady SP and used that as my starting point. I was using 1x 30-06 resized and Rem 9½ primers.

In my uses, I have found that the 225 gr BTSP Speer or Hornady, will accomplish anything you want to accomplish in the lower 48 in a 338/06. And it IS a step up from the 30/06.

John, I couldn't agree more.

Thank you.
