This stuff looks interesting
Anyone tried in 7-08? Looks like it would work exceptionally well?

Yup, it looks interesting enough to try. Good velocities and will meter well.

Got some, haven't used it yet.
Jeremy, ImTheReasonDovesMourn, has used it in 7mm-08. Holler at him.

I am about halfway thru an 8 lb bottle and it seems to be a good option.That is if you need something slightly slower than H4350/R16 burn rate and aren’t too caught up in the I have to have the most temperature insensitive product available.
I have only used it in 22 Creedmoor and 6.5 Creedmoor. Works well loading on a progressive press for sure.

I thought staball was suppose to be a temp stable powder. It is relatively speaking to some Ball powders. I would categorize like Reloder 26 which says it has “ controlled temperature sensitivity “ so it’s very good but not as good as Reloder 16 which is as good as it gets... if that makes sense.
