With today's shortages I have to get by with what I have on hand. I have nearly 2lbs of HS-6 and I'm desperately low on 9MM. Has anybody used HS-6 in 9MM? If yes I'd appreciate you sharing your results and data if you recorded it. Any suggestions, advice, experience or even educated speculation using HS-6 with cast 9MM will be appreciated. For years I've only used Bullseye with 9MM cast, jacketed and plated with good results both on paper and reliability in various 9MM pistols. About a month or so ago I shot up apx 100 9's I loaded with Herco using 1970's data. Results were mixed but over all the shot to shot accuracy declined slightly, more felt recoil along with an uncomfortable indoor range muzzle flash. The pistols all functioned properly except my always stubborn Argie Hi-Power. I only have somewhere between 1/4 to 1/3 lb of BE left and want to save it for 45ACP and 380.
I will be loading Lee 358-125 RNF sized 356 or 357 and the RCBS 135 RN gas check. A good portion of the RCBS cast, apx 250 will be shot without a gas check coated with Lee Mule Snot and dusted with Motor Mica. Previous experience has shown me the gas checked 9MM conventionally sized and lubed don't shoot any better than the barefoot castings. My 9MM cast pistol bullets are usually a 50/50 mix of clip-on and stick-on wheel weights. I may have used scrap of unknown purity instead of the stickys. I usually don't add tin unless I'm having problems getting a good flow and fill. The 9MM cast bullets I have on hand. I cast apx 3-4 years ago, don't recall the mix but they passed my recent fingernail test as not being to soft.
