- Roll crimp, I assume. How much? Light, heavy? I'm supposing heavy because I want good pressure for HS-6, but I would like to confirm.

Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks.
-If you're getting the velocity you're looking for and the accuracy is good I see no reason to add more powder.

-I have never trimmed a straight walled handgun case and don't ever intend to.

-I use a medium to a little heavier roll crimp when loading with HS-6. I treat the loads more like a magnum load than a Special load.

-Anything else, yes, please use magnum primers when loading with HS-6, they just work better. (but I see you already mentioned you will be using CCI-550 primers, good) Don't forget the range report when you shoot them over the Chrono...
