Building another bolt gun and am thinking Dasher. And with Varget being imaginary anymore, I do have 30lbs of StaBall and am curious if anyone has had luck with running that in a Dasher.

I ran a velocity ladder looking for pressure in my dasher and I ended up pushing a 105 hybrid target past 3100 with Staball. I stopped once I reached 39.5 grains. Due to the ball powder you can really get a nice dense case fill. Other than just seeing what kind of velocities I could reach, I never experimented with it further. I still have 10 lbs of it hanging out, I want to see what it can do with heavy pull in 223.
Dang that’s impressive! Awesome! I’ve had great luck with it in my creedmoor pushing a 142 SMK at 2920 so I was curious what it would do in a dasher since I only have a pound of Varget and 30lbs of StaBall.
Impressive velocity wise sure, but I was pushing that brass way over the normal limits. I suspect the brass life would probably be pretty short lived, but I wanted to see where the pressure limits were. The good thing about a ball powder is you can get a better case fill compared to other powder types. It’s definitely an interesting powder for sure.
Yeah I could imagine. I’m wanting to push 105 bergers around the 2900 range and it sounds like it shouldn’t be a problem with it.
