I was actually trying to decide betweenHS-6 and long shot. A buddy of mine gave a little HS-6 to try I liked it alot very clean in my 45's but was a little dissatisfied with the lack of velocity with 230 grain bullets and two of my 45's the millennium pro has a 3 1/4 inch barrel which I didnt expect to get much velocity out of anyway which I was getting an average of 786 fps with a max load of hs-6 and a 230 grain winchester JHP but was hoping to atleast be over the 810 fps mark then with the other an XD-45 tactical with a 5 inch barrel I was getting and average of 821 fps with a max charge of HS-6 and a 230 grain winchester JHP. I was getting my desired velocity from unique, I dont know why but I feel a 230 grain bullet from a 5 inch barrel shoulds give atleast 840 to 850 fps anything less just inst acceptable. thats why I decided to give long shot a try according to the load data the start charge of long shot will give 848 fps from a 5 inch barrel and the max charge shows 908 fps. Its kinda weird with hodgdons powders they need a in between powder of HS-6 and Long shot which they do and its HS-7 but they dont print any data for HS-7 and 45 acp.
