I got a pound of Hodgdon HS-6 from a friend this evening. He said it works good, but burns very dirty. He suggested I use it in revolvers only because of this. Hodgdon's website suggests that it should give good results in .38 Spl, .44 Mag, and .45 Colt. I mostly use coated lead SWCs - 158 gr, 240 gr, and 250 gr. Anyone have any experience with it? I would also like to try it in .44 Russian and Spl, but so far have not found any load data for those. All the .44s will be shot in a modern .44 Mag, so not that worried about pressure within reason for the Russians and Specials.
