Is that the FNP-45 Tactical? (reply)

I use Accurate No 5 in my 45 ACPs for USPSA shoots (reply)

where my comp uit requires velocities above 1200 for the comp to work efficiently....and I am running about 1230-1250...and am happy as a clam...but these are Plus P+ loads....my FN Tacticals were designed for such...

3.5 grains and a 225 will knock a bowling pin down nicely. (reply)

Thanks Bud. I'm looking forward to trying it.

had excellent results with all 3.

I haven't found an inaccurate 45 ACP load...or .44 spl/mag (reply)

Thirty pounds of bullseye is a lot of shooting. Wasn't the military ball load 5 grains? Been a while but that's what pops up in the memory bank.

HS6 in ACP? (reply)

I've been wanting to try 231 for a while but I have so much powder already I hate to buy more. 231 is so useful I'm sure I'd use it though. I have a full pound of bullseye too I ought to try.

That's pretty good! I have a lot of HS6 and it meters well so I'm hoping it works out well. Gonna load some up tonight and shoot them this weekend. Thanks Sarge

"Since this new barrel was really showing promise, I went ahead and fitted a Maryland Gun Works match bushing per Kuhnhausen’s shop manual, and shot from a rest at 50 yards. The 3-shot cluster is probably what the gun can do; the flyers were the best that I could do, on this particular day. Still, it went under 3.5 inches, which makes me pretty proud of the reload if nothing else. The load was 8.1 grains of HS-6 under Sierra’s excellent 230 grain JHC. The Navidrex grips (from Brownells) aren’t bad for “cheapies” either."

The HS6 loads gave good accuracy (reply)

for that matter. In truth I have loaded a little bit of everything using up old stock powder at shops I have worked at and 30 pounds + of Bullseye for most of my 45 ACP loads. Bullseye is dirty but very economical. One year I bought 10 pounds of it one sale and few months later was gifted with a almost full 8 pound keg of Bullseye...

yep I've used it book loads (reply)

Was the HS6 fairly accurate? I haven't tried Power Pistol or 231 yet but both are supposed to be great. Just wanting to try what I have before buying something new.

I've used it with Hornady 230 FMJ FN bullets, accurate and 100% fnction. My go-to powder is 231 but HS6 works fine.

You might try 231 Red Dot Or Universal Clays as well The last is much cleaner.

Any of you try HS6 in the 45 ACP? I'm not very happy with the accuracy I'm getting from 6.2-6.4 grains Unique with 230 FMJ ball loads. Looking for something better and I have lots of HS6. Looks like 8.4-8.6 grains would get me in the 800-820 fps range.
