How did the StaBall velocities stack up against the other known loads?
You may be waiting for a while, I think this was a drive by, post and run
The only load that I could compare to a known load was the 204 Ruger loads which gave a little better velocity that Varget
The other loads were simply chosen at random as discussed in the article. I primarily strive for accuracy before worrying about velocity. I have friend who load for velocity first, them worry about velocity.

Not really, I just hadn't checked back in
The data was wrong on the original StaBall so i expect the same on the rest
I will take your advice sir
I hate it when new powders come out and are inflamed with velocities that don't hold truth just for marketing! Superfomance is a big culprit along with 6.5Stabal. VV is about the only one with truth and maybe LRT. I state this on velocity only, not accuracy.

If you have bought Winchester Staball match or hd or 6.5 and don't like it and still have it send it to me, I will put it to good use in a poor man's rifle and thank you and god for it,
With load development across many cartridges it won't take long to burn up 2# of each. I had the 6.5 for a while, but haven't used any of it yet either.

I got a 6gt staball match 36.4 grains 105 Berger boat tails cruises at 3000fps avg. seem like you can get some speed with it. The load very accurate as well.
