A friend had a friend who is going to send me some Hodgon powder for free. Niiiice! For my 4-5/8" NMBH in 45 LC, shooting 260/280/300 gr bullets, which powder wouldl you ask for and why? Alan  | ||

I load the heavy for caliber bullets in my 45Colt; the 335 grain LBT GC, and use H110 because it is very consistant for full power loads. I am getting +/- 1292 ft/sec with H110 behind this bullet but it is not for the faint of heart. If you are wanting a powder for a more moderate load maybe something like Universal would work better.

for the milder loadings, I use HS-6. If you have the option, get some of both HS-6 and H110. If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

H 110 for me. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Member of the Delaware Destroyers Member Reeders Misfits NRA Life Member ENDOWMENT MEMBER NAHC Life Member DSA Life Member | |||

H Lil'gun preforms almost identical to H110, except that it seems to burn just a little cleaner. The H110 tend to leave some unburned powder. Either powder would be an excellent choice, as you simple can't stuff enough into the case to get yourself into trouble. Average charge weight for the bullets you listed would be between 18-25gr powder. Another favorite of mine is Hodgdon Titegroup. I use it more for plinking with cast lead. Charge weights will probably be between 6-9gr. | |||

Yep, H-110 is the gold standard _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

Another vote for H110........ "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||

With the bullet wts. you noted --H 110. I love the Lil Gun in my .500 with HEAVY bullets but found the H 110 to be more consistent in the 45LC , though I do agree the Lil Gun seems to burn a bit cleaner. DuggaBoye-O NRA-Life Whittington-Life TSRA-Life DRSS DSC HSC SCI | |||

H110 gets my vote as well. | |||

H-110 or 296 for heavy loads, Unique for mid-range loads and Bullseye for light loads. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||

hs6 is probably the most versitile if your not wanting to run full power loads all the time. It does real well on midrange loads and can be run up to pretty close to the slower powders. By the way ill take some of that free poweder!! | |||
