[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3793301, member: 41653"] While I agree that HS-6 is a very good powder for full-power (or very close to it) 9mm loads, I certainly do not agree that it is "fluffy". HS-6 is a ball powder. As are most ball powders, with the possible exception of flattened ball, it is a dense powder. It is also much, much slower than Sport Pistol. I've never used SP, but from what I can find out it's a fast powder, along the lines of A#2, or even TiteGroup. HS-6 is much slower. In betwixt A#5 and A#7, slower than Unique or Universal. A double charge is evident because as a slow powder one needs more of it to attain velocity. The softer recoil push is from the slower burn of the powder. [/QUOTE]
