    Superformance has been the best powder I have used in the 270 Win. I would only get around 2800 fps with the 150 gr Partition with 2213 SC so I tried Superformance as the burn rate is similar to...

    Hard to beat AR2209 in the 06, but at least you have a good alternative in Staball 6.5. When I get a chance I will try some loads I have ready for th 7 mm Mag usingStaball HD

    Danny I have been playing around with Staball 6.5 and the new Staball HD which has a burn rate like AR 2225. Staball 6.5 will do what 2209 will do maybe even slightly better. I have tried it in...
