[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2637079, member: 1132"] HS-6 is too slow to work well with heavier projectiles, plus it's flashy. TiteGroup burns very hot. I don't consider either of those optimal for heavy bullets or lead projectiles. Using HS-6 with a 124gr might not reliably cycle the roller action on the MP-5 clone without going supersonic. Try to find some WST and get something like the Xtreme 147gr plated round nose. Running 3.5gr of WST under the Xtreme at 1.12" OAL nets me 130PF out of my 5" 1911 9mm. It BARELY cycles my Glock 17 with AAC Evo 9 reliably, but it's stupid quiet. The WST burns cool, which keeps temps down on the can. It's also easy on cleanup, just run the gun wet and it'll wipe down without using solvent. One caveat: IF, your clone has a barrel with polygonal rifling, you might want to consider using jacketed bullets for best accuracy. Plated bullets tend to be pretty soft and sometimes they'll partially "skid" down the bore, leaving heavy copper fouling and terrible accuracy. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
