Good AM all.
Sharing some load info with HS-6 from this weekend. Brass was all Winchester and used Winchester Large Pistol primers. HS-6 a little on the dirty side but doable.
185gr Hornady XTP; 8.7gr HS-6; COAL 1.213 @ 865fps avg
185gr Hornady XTP; 9.2gr HS-6; COAL 1.213 @ 963fps avg
185gr Hornady XTP; 9.6gr HS-6; COAL 1.213 @ 1023fps avg
200gr Hornady XTP; 7.8gr HS-6; COAL 1.210 @ 809fps avg
200gr Hornady XTP; 8.3gr HS-6; COAL 1.210 @ 875fps avg
200gr Hornady XTP; 8.8gr HS-6; COAL 1.210 @ 937fps avg
I found the 200gr XTP's a much more tolerable, and lighter recoil than the lighter 185gr XTP's. Only shot 5 round groups for average because these Hornady bullets are a little pricey and I am a little on the cheap side, and am having fun just testing some various powders!
I will stick to LSWC/Berry's for plinking, but sometimes hard to resist deviation and loading/shooting some brand-name stuff!!!
