I looked at burn rates chart or two to see where HS6 fell I have some data for a 500 specials using Herco of which I have at times used a lot.. anyway HS 6 is slower-- so with what Gary said about 14 gr in a .44 and my data and HS6 being slower I started with 15.5 gr- all was well-- had to hit 2 primers 3 times --not happy about that-I pretty much have the 6" .500 GNR sighted with a 3 power Burris....just need to work on the elevation... so it was 15.5 gr over a 380 gr home cast WLN, CCI 350 primer - I am sure the speed is around 1000 fps?-- so will have to go up as I want to be at 1100 to hunt with it.. it is my late sons 5 gun so it was a touching evening for me. Now are there any quirks with the .500 it is a bottle neck although not like my .410...
I do not know how much I can go up with the HS6 will chrono maybe Thursday - iF needed I have some 4227 and H110 -- if you guys have anything to add please do--oh and no offense when I asked about the .500 I have a .41 GNR and .410 and bottle necks can be different --over all had fun

- you can experiment with the 4227 and it should - Gary Reeder, 2021-11-16, 15:29
  - I do not have much 4227 as that would be my first choice - Lynn, 2021-11-17, 09:52
    - If you have primers, other than CCI, use them - steve todd, 2021-11-17, 12:41
