[QUOTE="Rustygun, post: 3785159, member: 4711"] I was wondering what criteria people use when selecting a powder for handgun applications. Why did you decide on one powder over all the other options on the market? Was it a certain part of performance (accuracy, recoil, FPS, etc) price, availability, or other characteristic you were looking for? I tried several different powders and kind of settled on HS-6 for my 9mm loads. not that HS-6 is the best, but it seemed to fit what I was doing at the time. That decision was based on several things. A double charge of HS-6 would be very visible, works for different weight projectiles and even different calibers, a lot of data available from several different sources, accurate, clean burning, low smoke. What measurements did you use to determine which powder to use? [/QUOTE]
