tyler2you Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 My 9 major load is 8.6 grains of HS-6 with a 115 grain jacketed bullet (either Zero or PD) at 1.165 OAL. Gets me 171 PF in a full size gun with 2 holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRobson Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Using the same comp I found Hs6 with 115's around 173-174 pf to be nice. Start at about 8.6. I was at 9.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I load 8.1 gr of sil shorty gun with 2 blow holes with montana gold 124 jhp. I am loaded a bit longer than normal but I am not next to my notes right now. For the full sized gun it is 7.8. When I remember I'll get you the OAL. The other thing is that I have find that silhouette varies a good bit from lot to lot so I normally have to adjust my load when I go from one lot to another.

theWacoKid Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 5" and no holes. I worked up to 8.2 gr HS-6 with 124 gr MG CMJ at 1.170" oal to get 170 pf. I worked up to 7.7 gr Silhouette with 124 gr MG CMJ at 1.170" oal to get 170 pf at 70 degrees. This load got much hotter when outside temps dropped. I worked up to 9.0 gr HS-6 with 115 gr JHP at 1.165" oal to get 175 pf. As always start very low and work up carefully to find what works in your gun.

jellyb Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I see you have shot both powders....do you have a preference between the two? Thanks! 5" and no holes.

It has also been my experience as well that silhouette was reverse temperature (gets faster as the temp drops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theWacoKid Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I liked the Silhouette load as I played with it, but I've shot the hs6 much more and couldn't tell any performance difference. Having said that I plan to continue to tinker with Silhouette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hello: I like HS-6 and 115's. Lots of gas to work the comp and is very accurate. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmooberry Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hello: I like HS-6 and 115's. Lots of gas to work the comp and is very accurate. Thanks, Eric Eric, Are those 115 jhp's? And what primers do you use with that load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hs6 dirty, silh much cleaner. 7.8 with a 125 jhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) I use both of these powders in my guns with blow holes, but without holes I prefer N350 or Autocomp. Edited January 4, 2016 by Hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
