Has anyone tried the norma 76 grain tip strike bullets in their rifle?

I'm looking to see if anyone has used a "ball" powder in their 6BR? I'd like to try Staball Match behind a Hornady 108 ELD-M. The ball powders meters much better than an extruded powder. Any opinions?

I’m pretty sure that someone has posted a successful load using StaBall Match in the thousand posts above as I remember it.

I do know that StaBall 6.5 works but is too slow. You can’t get enough in.

If I had some Match I’d try it myself.

Here’s what Hodgden lists on their site:

They do show a 107:

Note that this data is for the 6BR Remington, which differs only in the depth of the bullet in the case due to a shorter throat. So these loads will likely be lower than what you’ll see for the Norma, where the bullet is seated further out allowing for more powder.

I've used CFE223. It meters as well as one would expect with "ball" powder (actually it is very tiny flakes). While it's temperature-sensitive and not known for tight ES/SD values, it's relatively inexpensive and available.

Here. I found this post from Dec. last year.

6mm BR

Here some results from my second outing with the GAP 6mm BR, was a bit warmer out. Tried a different target too. Think I'll up the charge weight and do some load testing. Maybe it's time to get some needed cataract surgery too! Old eyes are straining some.

It’s a start.

I must have gotten enough in Lash, checking my notes from years ago I found 35gr staball 6.5 gave me 2910fps with 105 mb’s, max fill under a 112 mb is 34.5gr but I have not used this combo yet.

I wasn’t aware of that and didn’t try it myself. I guess my memory is faulty. No surprise there.

I've seen data where staball 6.5 is used with the 110-115 bullets. I dont think it does well with bullets under 100gr.

I wasn't impressed with staball match in my 6 dasher.

That barrel shoots everything fast.

I ran 35.1 with the 105.
