cnote Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Given the same powder charge of dirty HS6, would a difference in oal help with better complete powder burn, or at least just better? ie going shorter or longer with aol —assuming no change in function other than velocity Just trying to keep the gun cleaner in between breakdowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the OAL works for your gun I personally would up the charge unless you are already really high PF like 176-8. HS 6 will always be somewhat dirty but burns cleanest the hotter the load.

Hi-Power Jack Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I'd guess that shorter = hotter load, and therefore cleaner load ??? But, not placing a large bet on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Congratulations, you just won one grain of HS-6. Use it sparingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 OAL is for feeding,, you control pressure by powder selection and charge weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 172/3, so if I get it hotter it should burn a little cleaner or more complete ... thanks the increased velocity is a wash with the comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
