Hs6 9mm A Compressed Load?

[rgkeller]

Is 8.6 grains of HS6 a compressed load at 1.15 oal with a zero 124 jhp?

Thanks

No . That load made about 172 pf in my gun ( Shory with 2 holes)

I shoot a 9x21 and use 6.6 gr HS-6 under a 147 gr bullet (AOL = 1.245") and my load is just short of being compressed. Your load of over 8 gr HS-6 in a 9x19 must surely be a compressed load.

BTW, my load shoots a 175 PF and is definitely my maximum. This load was developed for my gun and is recommended only for my gun.

[9x21]

In 9x21, I currently use 9.1 540 (same as HS6), 125 zerojhp. 1.210 oval, wsr, 172 PF in a Shorty. the powder is old, but has been stored properly.

I should have said that my question was in reference to 9x19.

Not compressed. HS6 is probably the most popular powder for 9 Major with a 124/125.

FYI, 9x21 and 9x19 can be considered as one and the same for this discussion as long as the OAL is the same because load data is 100% interchangeable between these cases.

WW540 and HS6 are the same powder. I use 8.6 of WW540 under a 124 JHP at 1.135" OAL and that IS a slightly compressed load. 1.150" is probably just touching the powder with the bullet base.

I run 8.4 grains HS-6 at 1.155" with a 125gr. Zero JHP. I think the bullet touches the powder, but it doesn't seem to be compressing much, if any. Plenty of room left in the case.
