+1 on Power Pistol. I also like it for 90% .357 magnum loads. I ordered the 8 lb keg of BE-86 because others said it was close to Power Pistol, but not quite as "blasty", and also has a flash suppressant. And rumor was Alliant was raising all their powder prices 30%, so I went ahead and grabbed one before the price increase.Another good one is Power Pistol, use it in 9mm and 38 super. Got a little more punch
than HS6. But I load heavy for the race guns anyway so don't have dirty troubles.
I was seriously considering selling or trading it but may keep them.Best powder for 9mm is no longer made, IMR 4756 had a factory duplication load that was excellent.
Some years back a lot of the powders were discontinued and I expect more will be as our world changes.
HS6 is OK for 9mm but whatever load you choose it will save you grief if you stock upon powder. They can discontinue any powder at any time.
I've been using HS-6 for 9mm and .40cal since the beginning, 2011. You can't double charge as it will over flow. 6.2g- 6.4g. Measures great and burns clean, as mentioned, in the smaller, higher pressure cartridge's. I liked that there was data for a wider range of powder weight compared to Bullseye and TiteGroupI was seriously considering selling or trading it but may keep them.
Good advice. Sometimes I think the powder availability on the shelf, albeit at rape pricing, tends to lull one into complacency with the thought that it will always be available. How quickly we forget.In this time of uncertainty you may want to hold on to the powders even if they aren't your preferred choices. Save them for when you run out of and can't get the "good stuff" and you'll be still loading and shooting when others are singing can't get no powder blues.
Yeabut those aren't as easy to spell as vihihitori so..In this time of uncertainty you may want to hold on to the powders even if they aren't your preferred choices.

I don't generally quote myself but when I do it's to add pertinent information.Doing my research I've decided to keep the majority But may trade some of it for the Hornady ammo plant parts.
