geneo,
I'm also a big fan of HS-6.

Are you using magnum primers with those loads? If not give magnum primers a try, your groups will probably shrink a bit. (or even more)

I ran a ton of HS6 through my 357 Mag, with very good results, but could never get good results through my 45s. A slowish powder that performs well in all my autoloaders, is Power Pistol. From 32s, up to 45s, and everything in between, PP is my go to powder.
