i think the thing about hs-6 from what ive gathered, is that you gotta really push the stuff. i guess you found that out. maybe its more clean at that PF too. also heard that. i may try to push 3n38 out of my super too up to a PF like that. might be fun.

Hello: I shot some Auto Comp and HS-6 loads today and the winner is still HS-6 for me. I do run the PF up in the 171-173 range it is pretty clean and soft. The dot tracking is good and so are the splits. The best part is you can find HS-6 and it is cheaper than some of the others :cheers: Thanks, Eric

I went ahead decided one of two things was going to happen. I was going to get the pf i wanted or was going to stop from pressure signs.So I pushed to see what i could get out of it. and I am glad I did. I think you guys are right you have to push this powder. It is cleaner @ 175. and VERY flat out of this gun. I dont think I would have to run it up so much to get what i wanted if I had some holes and better comp.

Boy I am really happy with this load.

Well the best part of all of this is I dropped my gun off to my smith Friday for major slide lightening and 3 popple holes. Lol do I get to do this all over again. I do like playing with loads and experimenting.

Lol jack I guess the hi should be 1492. No I just have these right now to use up. I keep spraying dillon case lube in the comp so the lead doesn't build up to bad. I wanted to make sure I like the 115 before ordering a case

I settled on 9.0gr HS6 with a MG 115 JHP at 1.165" out of my Freedom Gunworks full size open with a Thundercomp II and no holes. It gives a 175-176PF and I can track the dot MUCH better than any load I tried with 124s.

Great data. My 9mm open gun should be here this week, and I have both HS6 and Sil waiting on the bench, but I think I'll start with a few HS6 loads and go from there. My gun has no holes, just a comp, and no slide lightening. We'll see how close I get to your numbers.
