chgofirefighter Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 After a few weeks of trial an error I was able to finally dialed the HS6 powder dro. I was originally at 8.2gr and it was running pretty hot, than I dropped it down to 8.0gr, followed by 7.9gr than 7/8gr. I was going to go 7.7gr to see how it works but I've been told to leave it as is for now. Using a CK Arms open pistol using an 8 lbs recoil spring. Just ordered a few more springs to play around such as 6lbs, 6 variable, 7lbs and 7 variable... Dot tracking is ok but not where I would like it to be... So more work to be done! I may give AA#7 a try too~ See attached photo~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Dot tracking isnt learned from playing with loads. Its learned from taking buckets and buckets of ammo to the range and playing with any reliable load and your grip. Playing with loads is just that. Playing around. Stick with something and get to work. Or dont and waste time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevrofreak Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 My HS-6 load with 124's for my CK was 7.8 also. It is a good feeling load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can come up with a load that tracks reliably and settles quickly and uniformly, it can make it easier and faster to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads literally do not matter. Training with said load is what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc68cal Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 8lb recoil spring might be as low as you want to go - lighter springs will start to make it harder to strip rounds out of mags and chamber them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Neill Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 What does distance of 1.00 mean? Distance to the start screen? Distance between screens? Or something else? That BP looks way out of whack! When/if possible, you may want to try the loads at a warmer temperature as well. Thanks. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
