Hodgdon HS-6
Disclaimer: All of the following powder
charges were taken from reloading manuals produced by gun powder companies or
other reloading manuals that may vary in powder charges greatly. Various
components combined, make all the difference in the world. I am not responsible

1. Hodgdon HS-6 proved to be a very mellow powder for lower
velocities -- very nice.
2. This would be a good powder to use for light to medium
loads.
