HS-6 And Moly?

[DyNo!]

Does anyone know how they react smoke wise with a charge of about 6.6 grains?

For example, the worst smoke I've ever experienced was combining Tightgroup and Moly. It was like shooting a muzzle loader and I knew in advance what it would be like.

How is it loaded at 140 PF with jacketed bullets?

I've got 8 pounds of the stuff and it would take me years to shoot all of it in Open.

I really don't feel right spending $60 for gunpowder when I've got 7.5 pounds of HS-6 sitting around.

Just shoot it! its range time. I would practice whatever I have

till its gone.

To add to this -

I use HS-6 in 9mm major and I have a 2011 in 9mm for outlaw multigun.

Steel is set heavy and hot 9mm is not a hindrance at all.

I'd be using moly for practice and local matches and jacketed ammo for matches.

not sure what bullet you are trying to run, but I run Moly 140 gn .40 in my open gun w HS6, no problems 8.5 gn

I did some reading and decided that I'm just going to load 6.6 grains under a 121 Montana Gold bullet and play it safe.

Thanks!

If I figured this correctly in my head:( - no puns here -

I believe you would get approximately 5000 rounds out of the

7.5 lbs with a 9mm major load.

I shoot that many rounds (practice and matches) in about

four months:)

Did I do something wrong here?

I'd save the HS6 (I love it, but just switched to WAC),

and buy an 8 lb jug of something more suitable? Nothing

wrong with having a supply of powder - we ran through a

shortage of bullets, and then primers - seems to me it

just might be powder next:(

Just my humble opinion.
