40S&W Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Shooting a 2011 Open 9mm 5". Has a KKM match barrel and bushing, lightened STI slide (hard chromed), T-2 comp. I'd like a minor load and would like to take advantage of the HS-6 gas. Using range brass & 124gr, MG CMJ, Federal SPP. Currently running 124 CMJ, 4.1gr. Titegroup and an OAL of 1.142~1.145, avg. 137 PF. Want the load for steel plate. Need a starting point at least. Thanks for your assistance.

Hammbone Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I started at 5.9gr and worked up to 6.5gr. I noticed something odd with the velocities. They were the same avg at 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3gr. That's why I went with 6.2gr. If for some reason my powder measure one way or the other, I'm still in the wheelhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRichardson Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) It's not 124 but I have been experimenting with HS6 and found 6.5 under a 115 is a really soft combo but still runs my open xdm reliably. At low charge rates HS6 ( well all the 9major powders ) are pretty dirty. Edited February 3, 2013 by DRichardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I had some HS6 left in my powder measure so I put together a Minor load for my Glock 17C (2 small slots on top of the barrel) using mixed headstamp brass & Win Small Pistol Primers-6.4grs HS6, under Precision Delta 124gr FMJ RN OAL 1.155..No issues at all ! Functioned very well & accurate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If you can find them the 95 grain bullets with a heavy charge keeps the comp working and is a nice minor load for steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
