No, doubt a drug smuggler.

It's brought many a good man to his knees ;)

Would you say that it is faster or slower than the older lots.

I got the same problem

Good for you. Looks like you got it figured out.

@Rflshootr When you continue with your load work up let us know how you make out and if the sooty necks cleared up.

According to Hodgdon's data center you would think that StaBal 6.5 would be great in the 243. I would just work up slow using a chrony. Might come to great results. JMO

I would think that your safest route to take would be to get your velocity #'s and see how they compare to Hodgdon. If they are close then be careful going up or changing primers without reducing the load a little, .If they are significantly less then work up in small steps. JMO

I have read the AA2700 is very close to WW760/H414 but never read of a clone for the StaBal 6.5. I agree with you that small steps are called for especially with 6.5.

I would keep a close eye on the velocity and what Hodgdon gets. Smoked necks and shoulders can be from low pressure but can also be from other things like necks and shoulders that need annelling or cases that hardened up. JMO

Did you check your velocity vs what Hodgdon gets. If you are close then I wouldn't go much higher.

Can't help you out on the primer thing but one caution that I would tell you is in my usage of StaBal 6.5 is that it spikes real fast. One grain can take you from a seemingly safe load to a blown primer . Happened to me.

I didn't know the man but enjoyed reading his posts on various forums on different sites. God Speed and condolences to the family.

Teslong. Google this name. They have some inexpensive bore scopes that are good. https://teslong.com/collections/borescopes

The picture of the sun coming up is great. Not only an accomplished benchrest shooter but a photographer as well.!!!!!!!
