Stjs45 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I worked up my MAJOR PISTOL load in my CK as recommended instead of the WAC i was using. Looks like I will be about 9.6 gr. to get 172PF instead of the 6.7 of WAC. I feel a quicker smaller kick, but still not the infamous “dot not getting out of the glass” unicorn some of y’all talk about. (Jk) My question is are the pictures below un burnt powder? I obviously worked my way up and could have been some of the higher loads I tested. But unsure if that is what that is. Thnx y’all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I get similar residue in my gun from HS6. Which people say is a somewhat dirty powder. But it just wipes off. I usually keep a microfiber cloth handy and keep my gun pretty oiled up. I wipe it off every 300 rounds or so. Or after every match. Mainly the chamber and feedramp area and put more oil on it.

I just started loading with hs6 as well and have noticed the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 At 9.6 you must be loading 115 gr bullets, in my gun I load 8.2 with 124 gr. I still have some of the same but looks less than your pict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan4147 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Not necessarily unburned powder, but it is normal. That's what some call the "corn meal" residual. AA#7 is even worse. I went back to Autocomp due to what you are seeing, and the fact that AC doesn't "spill" during reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use AA#7 and after 400 rounds my guns are full of this stuff. Still run great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use N340 per my gun manufacturers recommendation and it’s very very clean and no cornmeal or residue.

SWprotected Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Never really noticed that with HS6 but AA7 and Shooters World Major Pistol I have seen it. It never caused any problems, I do use plenty of oil though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
