    HS-6 for light .45colt loads. ? 200 grain boolit info needed.

    The only powder in town this month so far is HS-6. Small town.

    for cowboy velocity ammo using 200 grain rnfp CAST boolits, I came up with one load ,after a lengthy search,and I DON'T TRUST IT.

    ..says 13.5 grains,which is a LOT more than the same bullet in .45acp, by 50 %.NO other powder shows that much diff. between colt and acp loads,so....here I am.

    and yes, I know x brand of powder is better, this is what I want to make work,and if not I'll use it in my 1911 and other calibers I shoot.
    thanks !

    Edited to reflect the fact that I should not have responded to this post. tried to provide you with some useful information but I see the effort was quite wasted. Have a nice day.

    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    what does an xtp have to do with asking about cast bullet data. ? Hodgdon's site sux as far as i'm concerned.The word 'boolit' on this page means a cast bullet.
