staball match is different than staball 6.5. i know there are threads on 6.5 but afik match is new 2023 powder release. ive put a good few hours into searching, if it is as simple as use another search engine then its just verification that i am indeed a moron.
hodgon is the only load data i can find and closest i can get is 6mm arc so im looking and running math there vs grendel to figure out a starting charge, then will monitor the chrono on the way up while still watching the brass (as useless as it might be, my rational is there is a slim chance overpressure occurs well below expected velocity and if im only watching the chrono i wont catch it early enough)
varget will be my control group for velocity so i know where my relative speed limits are as this is a well known powder with predictable characteristics.
6mm arc info

*edit*
ok just ran a bunch of numbers through my head and I think I can get away with starting at 26.3gr and working up from there for both 123 and 130gr. someone please tell me if this looks wrong or dangerous. midsouth put out a video that shows a picture of the stuff, and i must say it looks strange to me.
