Description

Hodgdon HS-6 is a versatile spherical powder designed for both pistol and shotshell reloading applications. Known for its consistent metering, clean-burning characteristics, and dependable performance, HS-6 is a trusted choice for reloaders seeking flexibility across multiple calibers and gauges.

In handgun applications, HS-6 delivers excellent velocities and reliable ignition in popular cartridges such as 9mm, .38 Super, .40 S&W, and 10mm Auto.
