I have loaded HS-6 for 9mm for a while Usually around 6.3g with a 115 gr bullet. The chrono Says I get around 1100 FPS. I noticed on coated bullets is seems to produce more smoke than I would like. Bought a lb of CFE pistol just to try and saw several On this forum recommend 231 which I have several lbs in my inventory. Thanks to all who contributed they info.

I've been using TiteGroup since 2016 (over 20,000 rounds reloaded). 4.0 grains of powder for 115grain 9mm bullets - with OAL of 1.125" (+/- .004), and have only had one bad cartridge in all that time. Don't want to "mess with perfection," but TiteGroup is becoming quite rare, and Hodgdon has no answers about when the shortage will abate. May have to try another powder...

It's worth it.
Stock up while you can as prices are only going to go UP!
Good Old IMR 4064 is over 200 for an 8 lb bottle now and not very long ago it was 160.
I would bet all 8lb stuff will be over 200 very soon
