3gunnah Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Like the title says I'm just looking for a good safe starting point with Hs6 in 38 super using a Montana gold 124 hollow point. I'm going to be running this load in a Clark custom built Caspian. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Minor or Major? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 For 38 super/cupercomp MAJOR: I use HS-6 iwith MG 124gr JHP or FMJ on occasion. MG 124gr JHP @ 1.235" OAL or MG 124gr FMJ @ 1.250 with HS-6 @ 9.0 gr /Win SRP (This particular lot seems a little slow, so don't use this a s a starting point) Either load shoots at about 168-170 pf out of my guns. Also check this thread: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=222746 If you are trying to make major IMO starting somewhere in the low eight grain range would be safe.

3gunnah Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Looks like 8.0 of hs6 is a good starting point with a MG 124. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Starting should be starting, as in starting load in manual. Even if you only fire one round at each charge weight increment, you work up. Major is achieved at 8.7gn in one of my guns with HS6 and the rest need more powder. I dropped HS6 due to pressure signs to achieve major. If I knew that 7.9-8.0gn had been good with another 124gn bullet, I "might" start there as it is a 10% drop from what may be your goal. The highest starting load I have in any manual is 7.5, and that is with 6.8gn HS6 being max in one manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
