Gentlemen I don't post often but view every day, and I have a question.
All you enablers convinced me we needed the new Super Blackhawk .454 (didn't take much convincing). I have a wide selection of Ruger single action .45 Colts all on the large frame. No stranger to Ruger Only loads. I primarily use H-110 and HS-6 for these loads. I only load cast bullets sized to .452 and have a wide selection of them from 260gr to 335gr. There are no grizzlies within 70 miles of me so I would like some ideas on reduced .454 loads using HS-6. I have data on the H-110 loads but my manuals, Hodgdons, Hornady Lee and Lyman don't have much or anything on HS-6. In .45Colt I use 13gr of HS-6 under everything up to 300gr with good results. What little data I have found for the .454 leads me to think 14 to 16 grains would be a starting point. If you don't mind sharing your experience I would be thankful.

Pull up the Freedom Arms website and look at bottom of home page. There is a good bit of loading data linked on the bottom in PDF format with HS6 data
