I will build up as I always do as I don’t like getting near max but what makes the hs6 so different in these two bullets when every other powder for these two bullets is almost identical.

    I get what you are saying, but no idea why it is that way.

    While trying to work around the lack of powder, something I noticed in rifle loads is sometimes powders are listed for a given cartridge, but not for a nearly identical cartridge. Another thing I have with various parent/child cases, some will use the same powder, but one case(no rhyme or reason on parent or necked up/down) may not.

    1 company's loads may be close to all the others, but they may be the only 1 to use a certain powder.

    I wonder if it's a typo.
    Entering thousands of numbers, would be pretty easy to hit the 7 instead of the 8. Depending on where it happened (if that's what happened at all) it might be throughout Hornady's system that way with no way to verify.
    Just a thought.

    Could be. I always work up loads and wasn’t looking for short cut but I was just very curious about this. I always look at multiple books and research for hours before I start a load but I just found this one particular load strange.

    Curious as to why you want to load such a light bullet in 9mm.

    To do some testing with it. I read some info about the initial shock to the central nervous system being as if not more important to threat than weight. And obviously 13-1400 FPS vs the 1050 from a 124 is faster.

    I've been hand loading for almost 30 years. Not claiming to be an expert. I've never trimmed a 9 mm case. I have no intentions of ever doing so.

    If you want to move a light bullet very fast try AA7.

    This is the best website I have found for advice on 9 m m loading

    Will absolutely second this suggestion. Great powder for 45acp as well if wanting to drive those 'very fast'.
