I use 16gr of HS6 in both a MBW 465gr and their 410gr, (actual weights,..they are advertised as 440gr and 400gr)with either bullet I get 1000-1080fps and very good accuracy.
I wouldnt hesitate to use them for 95-98% of my hunting, they are what consider my everyday loads.

so looks like best bet would be the hs-6 16 gr I'm guessing that is the top end load where would be a good start i g point with the hs 6.with 400 and up to 460 montana bullets.

I'd start at 14.5-15grs, I don't know if 16grs is a top load??? It just gave me the velocity I was looking for, I pulled the load from some data provided by a forum member and have gone beyond 16grs with no signs of pressure........again, I was simply looking for 1000fps and an easy shooting/accurate load, so 16grs is where I landed.
