Broncman Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Just started shooting out of my new lot of HS-6... Holy Cow this stuff smokes! Got some older loads of the same weight out of my stash and nowhere the smoke. Anyone else seeing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3gunDQ Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) I opened a new case of 3n38 and my old load was 172 with the new powder it was at 180... I was a little concerned because they asked me to shoot chrono (random drawing, it’s not like they suspected minor) before a local and I had not ran any of the new rounds through chrono. The match staff shot one round through my gun at 1458 and said.. “you are good. I should have put my plugs on under my muffs.” ?

Joe4d Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 If they are coated, we are talking Minor ? Or are u running it in an open gun ? If minor HS6 doesnt like to get run light. Seems like it is one of those powders that clean up the higher the pressure. Another thing to look at is ur crimp/ seat set up. You could be shaving the coating into the case which can cause more smoke. Yeh or maybe the powder is screwed up. I just blasted some fairly new HS6 bought within last year, No issues under montana gold bullets. at fullmagnum velocities. 180's and 158 in a 357 working up pin loads. I am liking these 180's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radny97 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Lots of smoke means you’re not getting the more positive ignition you want. I had the same experience till i tried magnum primers. You’ll need to do a new work up though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncman Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Same lot of Blue bullets, Winchester Small Rifle primers and indoor range. One of the guys at my last match mentioned how smoky it was. So I watched the videos and then went to my local indoor range. Going to chrono as soon as weather permits. If chrono is good, I will just keep shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
