chase214 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Just seeing if anyone is using hs6 in 38sc in their open guns if so how does it compare to 3n38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Dedmon Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I have used both. The VV is cleaner but when I could not find any I went with HS6. 9.2 grs. in my pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmmoGuy Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 HS6 does a good job, been using it in my Caspian 38super comped gun with 115gr Rem JHP for years 9.6 gr gives around 1490 fps. Tried WAF with 124 gr JRN long time ago it worked very well. But prefer the 115s with HS6 works the comp well. Acc7 works but too dirty for me. Been wanting to try again WSF with 115s and 125s again because of the gas it puts out BUT beware WSF is temp sensitive as the temp rises the Vel drops. Never had that with HS6. Have fun.
