If you haven’t already, try AA#9. It flows great through the powder measure and isn’t as loud or as flashy as H110, but cycles the Desert Eagle very well.The only thing I don’t like about BE86 in 44mag is that it won’t cycle a Desert Eagle.

Good to know. I looked at my data and that isn’t one I have tried yet.If you haven’t already, try AA#9. It flows great through the powder measure and isn’t as loud or as flashy as H110, but cycles the Desert Eagle very well.
Each to his own, but I've been using Unique for >40 years and they have really cleaned it up.Does it burn cleaner than unique. I'm not a fan on unique.
http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/Where can I find load data for HS-6? Hornady only shows a JHP load for the 240 grain bullet and Lyman doesn’t show HS-6
I've got HS-6 and 240gr XTP's on the way.
Decided after much reading of people having penetration problems on game with the 200gr that I wouldn't bother with them and stick with the standard 240gr.
I just fired 1 of these 12.5 grain HS-6 240XTP loads. It seemed to be no slouch but not punishing. The gun still stood up quite a bit under recoil, much more than a hot 357. I tried it without ear protection and that was not comfortable, got a short ring from it. I'm going to go down to the 12 grain starting load and try that. I went 12.5 worried the starting load was going to be wimpy.
If you are that worried about a double charge, take a wooden dowel that just fits in the case. Fill a case and use the charge to scribe a line on the dowel.Got my components in. I'm disappointed in the load density of the HS-6, I have 1/4" between base of bullet and powder at 0.5 grains over starting load and XTP 240gr. Was expecting to see powder easily but it's way down in the case.....
Is there a source with a chart of powder load densities???? I'd like to be able to research them before I buy powder.
Power pistol is a close powder to this HS-6, I may end up using that if the load density is higher with similar performance.
