Have you considered using something like Power Pistol instead of the HS-6. Lee shows a starting load of 6.7 gr Power Pistol @1064 fps for a "Lead" bullet.
If you call LaserCast, they will send you load data. I couldn't find any load data for power pistol for the 180 grain so I just called them. They were very nice and helpful. On a note, I wouldn't use them again. I was shooting them and they produce a huge cloud of smoke, which made me have to evacuate the air on the range several times. I switched to my plated rounds and no smoke. I really wasn't too impressed with that and will shoot plated bullets from now on.
The Laser-Cast Manual shows...
CALIBER: .40 S&W
BULLET: 180gr. RN Flat Point (and 180gr Truncated Cone)
POWDER: Hodgdon HS-6
START LOAD: 6.6gr
MAX LOAD: 7.1gr
I've been told it is OK to use load data of a heavier bullet (but NOT from a lighter bullet).
Would it be safe to use this load data for my .40 S&W 155gr RN Hard Cast Bullet?
