For those that have tried Staball match with 6gt, how has that worked for you? A friend of mine has been getting single digit SD and sub 25 fps ES dropping powder on a progressive press. Is he a lucky guy, or is this pretty common? I have seen others reporting just ok results with it in 223 but cannot find much info on staball match with other cartridges that like the varget burn rate powders. Thanks.
 
What was temp while shooting test loads? Not as stable Varget from my testing in 308 as the temp comes up, but way better than something like CFE-223 or BLC. Not 6 GT obviously, but they have alot of cross over in powders that can be used between the 2. My buddy will only shoot Varget in his GT, but is planning on testing N140 as well.
 
I am not sure what the temperature was when he tested that load. I have been using n150 and h4350 so far with great results in my 2 6gts. I do like the idea of being able to throw charges with a ball powder, but I haven't of heard anyone else getting the same sort of results my friend was getting.
 
Have not tried staball match but one powder that gets looked over a lot for 6mm variants is reloader 15.5

I’ve tried H4350, Varget and RL 15.5 and 15.5 was most accurate in both my GT’s and BRAI I own. Not only accurate but SD’s and very temp stable. Give it a go.

What charges weights and bullets did you test?
