    6.5 StaBALL / H1000 Powders

    I have a curiosity question,

    I am currently loading the 6.5 PRC with H1000 / AR2217
    I am currently loading the 7mm08 with 6.5 StaBALL

    Shortage of Projectiles for both has me thinking about a 270wsm or 6.8 Western.

    In my searchings and comparisons, I noticed that Hodgdon has load data for;
    6.5 PRC & H1000 for 120gr - 153gr Projectiles
    7mm08 & 6.5 StaBALL for 120gr - 175gr Projectiles
    270wsm & both H1000 & 6.5 StaBALL for 130gr - 160gr Projectiles
    6.8 Western & both H1000 & 6.5 StaBALL for 129gr - 170gr Projectiles

    This is leading me to wonder, if the 6.5 StaBALL provides similar velocities using much less powder (6grs +/-) to the H1000 in the likes of the 270wsm and 6.8 Western, can it be used with similar success in 6.5 PRC ?

    I might be able to consolidate my Powders, and go big on 6.5 StaBALL and move on my stock of H1000 & AR2217.
