I was just planing on loading 38spl and 9mm. and hoping to find one powder for both. I looked around and found that w231 and HP 38 was recommended by several. At the reloading store I got a pound of w231, 38spl, 158gr Hornady xtp and 9mm, 147gr Hornady xtp. Loaded up some 38spl and now going on to 9mm. But, In my book I can find no data using w231 and 9mm 147gr xtp or any other 147gr bullet. Not in my book or any website that I've found Except Hodgdon data site.. They do list 147gr xtp starting 3.0 - 3.4 max w231. In my book Hodgdon does list w231 up to 130gr bullets but nothing over. So, should I use Hodgdon 9mm 147gr w231 data? Or move on and find another?
I've looked around and have seen that HS 6 powder works with most all 38spl and 9mm loads. And, in my small town the only reloading store has HS 6 in stock. It's a 70 mile trip that I don't want to make to the next reloading store.
HS 6 a good powder??
