Fastest temp stable powder

[Jojo417]

I’ve tried searching and couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for.

What’s the fastest temp stable powder out there?

Thanks for the input

What do you mean fastest? Velocity? For what cartridge with what bullet?

6arc with a 105-108

I’m looking for a powder that will yield the fastest velocity while being least affected by temperature swings.

Ar comp
H4895

H4895 for sure. Gets 90s to 2850 easily in my 223. Probably won’t find much of it at this point though.

Alliant power pro 2000mr would be up there I believe

StaBall Match is temperature stable (for a ball powder) and right in the burn rate you are looking for.

AR Comp per QL I just finished testing this and doing load workup for 6 ARC with 85 HPBT and 87 VMAX. Stupid accurate.

StaBall Match, H4895, Varget, XBR8208

ETA: 27.5-28.0gr of Varget has worked in 8 different 6mm ARC bolt-gun barrels now. Back off to 27gr if you're running a gasser. You will lose 100fps over the ball powders (CFE223, LVR, etc.) but it's a very stable load.

My cabinet. Hahaha... but my LGS has 8lb jugs also. It's not cheap but it's on the shelf

ARC has been consistently excellent for me in 6.5 Grendel over multiple platforms from 18-24”. Accuracy, temp stability, low SD’s in all varieties of TX weather. Seems to be getting more available, but still very pricey.

It's not listed in the load data but I bet Benchmark powder would work too, not sure on "fastest velocity" though.

"Thanks for the info. I settled on 25.3 Benchmark with a 105 Barnes and it worked well. I really like the ARC, but it is a little finicky to load for just because you have so little case volume and are limited on which powders work. But as you said, benchmark works well and so does Lever R"
