Thread: 7mm08 and staball 6.5

my reloading book is tucked away in a box some where after moving but from memory I was half a grain under hogdons book max with staball 6.5 win brass fed 210s and 154 interlocks. got 2646 average out of a 17 inch barreled Kimber and 20 fps ES just dropping the charges out of the thrower. trusty three shot groups where a nice clover leaf at a hundy. this particular rifle only likes interlocks. everything else I have tried shoots two to five inch groups. was on the verge of rebarreling it but stumbled on the magic combo after reading up on the forum and had a eureka moment. verified the load out to 525 and was very happy.
have shot one deer with it so far at 20 meters...
one of the odd things was that when I weighed out every powder charge very carefully the ES was 40...was a bit short of time so I set up the thrower and knocked out 50 rounds in a jiffy and Es halved and the group tightened up noticably. scratched my head and thanked the god of reloading for his generosity.
