[IM_Lugger]

I understand HS-6 is the choice of a lot of people for 9mm. What loads do you use with what bullets?


btw is 7gr max for 115gr FMJ? or is t less?

7.5 I think in LEE chart it lists 7gr as never esceeded load for 115 FMJ:?

You can work your way up to 7.2gr with the 115FMJ.

RePete what manual did you get that load from?

 

[RePete]

Lyman Pistol and Revolver Handbook - 3rd Edition, which is the latest.

Check out Hodgdon's web site, they have updated the loads.

I have been using that load in 5 different 9mm handguns and have had no problems with it.

And this is what it does at 25 feet, 5 shots...
