Experienced 6GT reloaders: is it worth it for me to hand-trickle H4350, or can I get similar performance in half the time using staball 6.5 and a lee powder measure?

Depends on what "worth it" and "similar performance" mean to you. If you want quick and potentially "good enough" accuracy for most things, a powder measure and ball powder might do it? If you want single digit SDs and sub-30 fps ES... you might have to hand trickle to meet that requirement (I haven't loaded StaBall out at all, and haven't used just a powder measure throw for rifle, so I have no direct input).

I think you'll find many folks have an automated solution, ranging from an RCBS Chargemaster to a Prometheus, with a number of other solutions (Auto Trickler, Super Trickler, AT + Ingenuity stuff, or the forthcoming full solution from Ingenuity) to get them that latter performance result in "quick enough" times (8-20 seconds per throw, essentially).

This little faggot just wont go away…

I heard that he was at the school and when the shit hit the fan, he "ran" home (on bike, or on foot). That he wasn't even there when the carnage was going on.

He's an opportunistic little fuckwit is all he is.
The story that originally ran in the papers down here said that he had stayed home from school that day and was riding his bike to school once he heard about the shooting. His interview at the time was pushed by all the national papers as a “student who was there”. He is an opportunist and likely handled from the beginning.

I am not very confident about 110 SASS Actual info...

I just watched his video on the Badlands ammo v. BHA 77gr, FGMM 77gr... and his velocities for the BHA 77gr ( which he doesn't mention if it is the 5.56 load or the .223 load ) sure imply's he choose the slower .223 load for the comparison.

Heck, the 77gr FGMM load ( From all barrel lengths ) was even faster then the "choosen" BHA 77gr load.... in my experience, BHA Mk 262 is considerably faster then his reported velocities... so did he intentionally compare the slower BHA 77gr load to the Badlands Shell Shock ammo ?

I couldn't see what specific BHA he used in the video.

However, I do know the BHA Mk 262 is faster than his stated results.

It's not that I don't like him... but omitting certain specific details in the few videos I have watched, is not awe inspiring.
I can tell you that I have compared the Black Hills 5.56 77gr loadings to the 77gr 5.56 load that I got from Black Arc. Granted, I didn't shoot too much of either, at approaching $1.50 a round; but the Black Arc did come in at close to 100 fps faster in my 16". 100 fps really isn't much, but considering that the Black Arc shot better and isn't too far off in price, I think the Black Arc is worthy of consideration. Just mentioning it since Black Arc is a contender in the NAS3 game.
