IPSCDRL Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 The big benefit of 7625 was how quiet the rounds were, especially compared to W540 or HS6, which are loud as hell. W-540 and HS-6 are the same powder in different cans. I used to use W-450 and Zero 135's as that was what all of the local Super shooters used when I first started shooting open about six years ago. Winchester discontinued 540 but we have since learned (From Hodgdon) that HS-6 is the exact same powder. I'll be trying some 125 grain Zero's once my current supply of 135's is exhausted.

SVI4ME Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 I use 124 Montana Golds and Vit 350. I shot FMJ's for a couple of years and just switched to JHP's. I loaded the FMJ loads at a AOL of 1.250. When I switched to the JHP's I had to mash them down to 1.235 and they ran great. At 1.250 they hit the feed ramp and sputter here and there.
