StaBall6.5

[KABOOM]

New powder Winchester StaBall 6.5 via Hodgdon R.E.A.C.H compliant. Seems a wide range of uses with excellent velocity long with copper reducing elements.

Should this become available in the UK seems a worthwhile powder to try. If I didn't have 25lbs of CFE223 I would try it.

Looking forward to Laurie’s thoughts on this........

Being a Hodgdon product, it’s likely to cost near £50lb in the UK. 💰

Umm..I’ll stick with Viht & RS

I wonder though if that will be the case?  I used to buy RS powders for about £70/kilo but that source has dried up and I'm now paying closer to £80 for that and £88 for Vhit which seems to have gone up from last year.  I can get Hogdon for about the same cost per 2lbs, so around 10% more expensive.  The gap used to be more than that but price increases for the European powders are probably down to the £ falling on the $ this past few years which has levelled things up a lot.

Is much of the REACH-ok Hogdon stuff coming into the UK these days?
