Mr Jo -
The Hodgdon Powder Co makes HS-6. All you need to do is go to their web site and look up what you need. If they don't list the powder, then they don't think it's a good idea. Try to use something they suggest.
Here's the link: http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp
Hope this helps!

Teach a man to fish and he'll be fed for life.
Give a man a fish and he'll be back tomorrow begging for another.

Sounds as if you should purchase some reloading manuals, Lyman manual is excellant.

I went through a couple of cans of HS6, then went back to HP38 for 9mm.
It meters precisely and gives high velocity at standard pressure.
I don't often whine about "dirty powder" but HS6 is the only powder I have loaded that would coke up a gun to the point of malfunction in an afternoon of practice or an IDPA match. Maybe if you load it to the maximum, it will burn cleaner. But that is not recommended for plated bullets.
Good luck.

For reloading I'd treat plated the same as lead, which I also treat the same as jacketed. But not the other way around.
But then I do not load to the max either. Usually low to mid range.
I load for accuracy not power, now if only my body would cooperate.

Hodgdon max: 115 gr., 1.125", 7 gr. HS-6, 1234 fps
Kel-Tek P11 with feed ramp intrusion into chamber to .19": 115 gr., 1.168", 10.8 pierce RP primer, 11.2 gr. pierce WSPM, 11.5 bulged case
At 60% extra powder, the real limit was reached for a typical 9mm chamber.

I've never loaded with plated or lead, which is how plated is regarded. There are plenty of folks here that can advise you with your plated.
Yesterday I provided you with Hornady listed data for your 124 gr. XTP's using HS6. I also provided you with an OAL as listed by Hornady to help you develope a starting load? There isn't much more to offer that isn't firearm specific buddy.
What works in one firearm may not be functional in another. Start with minimum listed data, including OAL, and identify what causes different performance and pressure signs, carefully.
