i snagged 3 boxes of the 103’s from Red River Reloading for load development in the monster 20. The ladders are loaded, the rain has stopped so I will be getting to the range next week to see what happens. The 2021 Hodgdon manual showed 28.7 grains of StaBall 6.5 as a max charge and compressed under the 103 vapor trail VTAC bullet at 2600+. Using the 103 ELD-X at 28.7 and 29.0 I did not get any crunching, powder level was right at the shoulder, hoping for good things from the StaBall.
