Greetings Gents,
Made it to the range today with optimism as I was taking on the task of finding a good load with HS6 (which by some is a tricky powder) and a Boolit that is relatively unknown or overlooked as an accuracy producing boolit (NOE 434-280 Keith).
Was searching for a forgiving load with a low charge weight and a ball powder so I could throw the charges. Im always looking for the most forgiving load possible without culling boolits, weighing charges, minimal brass prep and inter-operable components.
Observations:
HS6 burned dirty throughout the charge range (11.5-13 Grains NOE 280 Keith) and WLPP does not light it well. Cases came out clean but there was unburned powder in the barrel.
It was MORE accurate than Unique at the highest charge. Turned out multiple 3 shot groups under an inch at 12.5 and 13.0.
Was accurate with the MP Molds HG503 at 13 grains (photo). This is acceptable to me. I didnt photo the NOE Keith...but I did log it in my book as a proofed load.
13.0 Grains HS6, MP HG503 Clone Solid Powder Coated, WLPP, Mixed Brass, 100 Yards
NOE 434-280 Keith
What are your observations?
