hs7 ???

[stilly]

I V...

I swear I do not recall typing that...

Quickload doesn't have HS-7 listed. At least version 3.6 doesn't.

HS-7 is old discontinued powder. I do not know why they discontinued it. Maybe it didn't sell very well. Hodgdon/Winchester/IMR will be discontinuing a few other powdders that don't sell very well. I think PB, SR-4756, an SR-7625 are going bye-bye.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Yes okay then. I have no interest in making loads with old powders. In fact, They can discontinue Leverevolution ANY DAY and I would be fine with that...

HS-7 is good for .38 spl, .357 mag, .41 mag, 10mm, .44 spl, .44 mag and others.

[ptmn]

As stated by others, heavy payload 9mm, 45 ACP and shotgun. It's slower than HS6, so it's not quite as versatile. I have some very old manuals that list loads for HS7. If you need data, PM me with what calibers you want to load with HS7 and I will forward you whatever data I have.

LoL... WTF? You got quickload or somethin?

You sly dog...


HS7. Hmmm, I never heard of it. Is it the successor to HS-6?

Can anyone enlighten me on hs7 powder ? Found some today and have no idea which caliber is most suited for...

HS-7 has been discontinued a long time ago. HS-7 is slow. Hodgdon lists it at #48 in their burn rate chart. I think it was the same as Winchester 571 which has also been discontinued.

I just looked in an old Speer reloading manual and they have some HS-7 9mm loads listed for 124 grain and 147 grain. They have some listed for 357 magnum 125, 140, and 158 grain bullets. They have some listed for 40S&W 155 and 180 grain bullets. 10mm 155, 180 and 200 grain bullets. There is also some listings for 41 and 44 magnum loads.

In the past I used it for ; 38spl., 158 SWC , 357 mag. 158 SWC , and 20ga. field loads.

In my limited expierience w/ it, it worked well.

No just many manuals and such. Both old and new. Been doing this a long time. That is where many of the old manuals come in.
If I need a quick load I have someone who does it for me.

[stilly]

PM me and I will send you the info. I need each cartridge and bullet you plan to load.

A pistol powder. What are you wanting to load? I believe I have data which could help.
