I was at the local gun store today, they had a good selection of powders. I find myself lately buying more powders and bullets rather than factory ammo. I try telling my wife it's just cheaper! Anyway it came down to a pound of Win 296 and the HS-6. I wanted one powder I could use for 327, 38, 357, and 41.
I loaded up some test rounds of 327. Going by the book. 6.6 grains with a max of 7.6. I never load to the max though so I did just some with 6.6 grains. Interestingly enough my Hornaday book gave me these numbers 6.6 to max 7.6. But the Hodgdon online manual says 7 to 7.6 the feet per second are similar between both sources though.
But how do others like HS-6? It seemed to meter very well, which is important really...
