gerritm Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Anyone have a good soft load for 9mm plated RN 124gr minor for steel & 3-gun for my Glock 34 open gun with Alpha Wolf 3 port comp. Tried the recommended 6.0 grs to get around 1050 FPS from Hodgdon and chrono was around 1200 FPS. Way too hot for what I want. Dot was all over & harsh feeling. Light long gun. Normally run 3.7 grs of Titegroup . It works pretty good, and is soft, but trying to get a little more gas to work the comp. Plus I have several pounds left over from my open major gun. Or just stick to the Titegroup. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootertheshooter Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I run 124 jhp with 6.2 of hs-6 and get 130pf out of my steel master . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Why not just drop the charge to 5.0 and 5.4, and see how they do over a chrono ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I put 5.2gr and have gotten speeds in the 1075ish range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suff Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I use 7.0gr of HS-6 with 124 plated in my DVC Steel for 3 gun. 144pf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Being a light long plastic gun sprung pretty soft, I have been playing with some different light HS6 loads, from starting @ 7.0 down to 5.3. Not too worried about PF due to it being shot in 3-gun. Kind of liked the 5.3 and just loaded up some 5.0 to try. Have not done any chrono testing, just doing it by feel, accuracy, and seeing how it ejects. At 5.3grs still throwing it a mile. Will keep trying & see how light I can go, and comparing it to my Titegroup load of 3.8grs. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerritm Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Me too, hate throwing stuff away and none of my shooting buddies use it. Been doing some testing when I have time. No chrono, but just by feel. down to 4.8grs with a 124gr Everglade RN plated feels pretty good. Going to shoot them in a match and see how I like it. Dot movement was good and recoil was fairly soft. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 HS6 is really not for minor PF- set up much better for major PF- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I know it is better for major, but have shot a couple of 3-gun/UML matches with 4.8grs HS-6/124gr plated Everglades @ 1.12 OAL and really liking it. Dot movement is good. I will use it until I run out. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your one of the few- look at the powder charge you are using for minor PF- then do a comparison with like sport pistol- lots less powder- to each their own- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
