What is the WINCHESTER - StaBALL 6.5 8lb Smokeless Rifle Powder?

WINCHESTER STABALL 6.5 SMOKELESS RIFLE POWDER


Winchester's StaBALL 6.5 is a ball powder optimized for high-velocity rifle cartridges like 6mm Creedmoor, 6GT, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08, .270 Winchester, and similar rounds. It provides the best load density and burn speed to maximize performance from those already high-performance cartridges. In addition, StaBALL 6.5 is a "temperature insensitive" powder, meaning it's performance remains the same in extremely hot OR cold weather conditions (yes, sometimes it is good to be insensitive!). It also includes additives that minimize copper fouling, so you can shoot more rounds between cleaning sessions without suffering a reduction in accuracy, something competition shooters will certainly appreciate.

  • Excellent for high-velocity rounds like 6mm / 6.5 Creedmoor & .270 Win
  • Burn rate unaffected by extremes of ambient temperature
  • Easy-flowing ball powder
  • Measures precisely for consistent charges
  • Helps prevent copper fouling
  • Available in 1 lb. & 8 lb. containers

Like all ball powders, StaBALL 6.5 meters smoothly through your powder measure, so you can throw very precise charges for excellent consistency in pressure AND velocity. This helps ensure your loaded rounds offer the best possible accuracy potential. There will be variances from one cartridge type to another, but overall, rounds loaded with StaBALL 6.5 produce velocities 30-200 fps FASTER than other propellants in the same class. Load up some ammo with Winchester StaBALL 6.5 and enjoy more consistent performance from your rifle AND fewer trips to the cleaning bench!

Reviews Summary
STABALL 6.5 smokeless powder receives mixed reviews from users. Some achieve excellent accuracy and velocity, comparable to H4350, while others report significant inconsistency and poor performance in precision applications. Many praise its ease of measurement and affordability, but those seeking precision might want to consider alternatives like H4350 or Varget.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Accuracy and Precision
50%
Reviewers' experiences with STABALL 6.5 vary widely in terms of accuracy. Some achieved outstanding results with sub-MOA groups, while others reported disappointment and struggled with larger groups and extreme spread. This theme highlights the powder's inconsistency for precision shooting.
Velocity and Consistency
40%
Several users noted that when the right load was found, STABALL 6.5 produced good velocities, though some experienced erratic performance. The overall perception of its velocity performance is split between satisfied users and those struggling with inconsistencies in their load testing.
Ease of Measurement
60%
STABALL 6.5 is praised for its metering capabilities in powder measures with little deviation. Many users appreciate that it allows for quick and efficient reloading, providing an advantage when creating match-quality ammunition.
Value and Affordability
55%
The affordability of STABALL 6.5 is a positive highlight among reviewers. Users feel they are getting good value for the price, especially when achieving satisfactory results in hunting loads, making it a compelling choice for budget-conscious reloaders.
Comparison to Other Powders
45%
A common thread in reviews is the comparison of STABALL 6.5 with established powders like H4350 and Varget. Many users suggest that for precision shooting, these alternative powders may be more reliable, indicating that STABALL 6.5 could be better suited for hunting rather than match shooting.

Great ball powder in 6/6.5
I've used this powder for 260Rem w/153.5 LRHT, 150SMK, 147 ELD-M & 6CRD 110ATIP, 112 MatchBurner w/ really good results. Produced velocities matching or above H4350 w/SDs below 10, several below 5. Accuracy is superb, as well. Consistently shot less than 0.5MOA when dialed in. It meters great and had good case fill. It does like to be at or near max for best performance, however, and I'm not completely convinced of its temp stability. It's definitely more stable than the usual balls (H335/BLC2/CFE223/etc), but I haven't shot it enough in various Temps to say how stable it is. It is very easy to push it to far looking for best performance and end up with a little case head expansion. I would recommend for 260, 6/6.5CRD, & similar cartridges.

Getting Fantastic Results
Getting excellent results with this in my 6.5 CM loads. ES of 6 and SD of 2 and groups the size of my thumbnail. I'm not sure what the negative review is about, but it is clearly possible to get great results with this powder, at least in my rifle. Given that this is also a relatively inexpensive powder, I'm going to keep using it.

Outstanding
Meters exceptionally well out of a Dillion powder measure with very little deviation. Fastest way to make match quality ammo. To date, the best grouping powder from my 6.5cm out of every combo I have tried with hornady 140g eldm projectiles.

Outstanding for 6.5 CM
I dont understand the negative review on this powder. I dont chronograph but Ive been using this powder for over a year and its very good. Accuracy equals H4350 in 6.5 CM. I shot a 300 yard group of .650 for 5 shots with a 142 SMK last weekend. A personal best in my RPR.
