I was looking for a powder to use with 250-300 gr boolits for target practice that will not break the bank. I use H110 for hunting loads. The 454 casull is new to me, but me and my boys burn alot of powder.

I have been reloading 38/357, 40sw, 45auto, 308, 223 for about 10 years. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Kevin

I get ragged hole groups with HS-6 and 2400 works well also.

Thanks 45r.......any kind of starting data with the HS-6 and 2400. Does it burn clean? I don't mind cleanin, thats half the fun of shootin.

10 grains of unique and about any bullet will work great and be economical

For midrange .454 loads, I like Bluedot.

With a handle like that, you have to be either on the Middle TN or the West TN side of the river. Anywhere close to the I-40 bridge?

I'm in far W.TN.

I use 2400 for midrange and unique for lighter loads as well.

I shoot .45colts and had a batch of 452460 over 8.7 grns unique w/ WLP primers that shot well. Haven't made anymore up beings I'm buying the mold to make my own.

alamogunr....grew up on the river and currently live just west of there. Work in Memphis though. Drop me a line and maybe we can burn a little powder before deer season gets in full swing.


I had a couple of other people suggest unique and bluedot.

Thanks
