Staball 6.5 in 17 rem?
Has anyone tried the Winchester Staball 6.5 powder in their 17 remington? They show some crazy fast velocity's and I was wondering if they're true?... 30 grain bullet max load showing 3904 fps. 25 grain max is showing 4138 fps. Of course I know work up to that but has anyone given it a try?

Sounds like it might be worth trying some. Hodgdon data appears to show well filled cases.

It just so happens that I have a 17 Remington rifle, some 30 gr. Berger bullets, and a couple pounds of Stayball6.5 powder. I'll load some up and head to the range when the Oregon weather cooperates to permit the chronograph seeing those tiny pills.

Well I got hold of a couple lbs of Staball 6.5 and loaded some up with my 30 gr nagel's. Worked my way up to a full load with no psi signs and out of 3 loads my junky chrony gave me 1 reading at 3830fps. I've got a new chronograph on the way and I'll be giving it another shot, but I'd be pretty happy with 3800+fps on a 30 grain bullet out of my 17 remington. Johnly I hope you'll still see what you get out of it. I'm wouldn't hang my hat on what my chrony said.
