However, those who have used more of this powder than I have will be more knowledgeable on the subject.

But I seem to remember that it wasn't known for burning the same way every time it was shot. Maybe it wasn't HS6 but it was something close if it wasn't.
Nowadays they don't recommend magnum primers with, I think, 2400, which is considered to be a magnum powder. Different manuals probably have different recommendations, but apparently, it's not cast in concrete.
