Scootertheshooter Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Does anyone have a good minor load for a JHP with HS-6 out of a comp gun? This will primarily be used for falling steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) It depends, what kind of comp do you have? 9mm or .38 super? 115gr for sure. Your setup might run flattest anywhere between 5 and 10 grains. Edited September 8, 2013 by kneelingatlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootertheshooter Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Sorry my bad it would be 115 in 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRobson Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) 9.0gr HS-6 with a MG 115JHP @ 1.168 is 173-174 pf out of my 5" 2011 Not minor but figured i'd throw it out there Edited September 8, 2013 by DRobson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 In my 9mm CZ with a 5.1" barrel makes 165PF with a 100gr bullet over 9.3gr HS6 and with a 124gr bullet over 8.2gr. It seems to me ~9 grains of HS6 is what you need to make the comp work well, regardless of bullet weight. I haven't tried 115s yet, but I think that's the ticket. I read some guys keep the powder charge the same between major and minor, but just use lighter bullets; others drop the charge way down (~5 gr) with a 115 and just the weight of the comp keeps the muzzle down. I had feed problems with the 100 grainers because I had to load them so short (1.076") so I'm going to stick to 115s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowmag Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 8.5gn HS-6 with the 115 MG was giving me 1400 FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
