Looking for loads for Plated Bullets. To be used are 180gr Berry's plated RSFP "round shoulder flat point"
I'm thinking on switching to power pistol since it's cheaper at $17 per lb vs hs-6 at $24 and power pistol supposedly works better in .40. I've been having problems with HS-6 since started using it.
I've been using HS-6 for awhile with somewhat good results accuracy wise but HS-6 for me has been a finicky mudder fudder. 6.6 grains while soft shooting leaves alot of unburnt powder, exactly 6.8 works great, anything over that is a a lil snappy "high recoil" sob. They have load data on hogdgon site for BerryB 180 at up to 7.4gr but that's prob be a little ridiculous to hang onto.
I was also hoping power pistol will measure out better than HS-6 hs-6 is a weird flat/round coin like shape vs standard round , flake or stick style powder and loves to act funny in rcbs competition powder measure which "only with this powder" varies + or - .1 grain forcing a weigh of each charge vs my average routine of dumping out every 10th or 20th round randomly to check that powder charges are correct
