Isn’t HS-6 just Hogdon’s designation for Winchester 572?

I think it's Winchester 540.

I don't think it's either one. When I go to their reloading website and check .357 & .44 they don't list 540 at all and give different data for HS6 and 572.

No, HS6 is the same as old Winchester 540. I used 540 your years in 38 super / major loads for USPSA.
I currently use HS6 for 44mag, 357 and 45 Colt. Excellent powder for moderate loads. I does have a pretty good flash though.

W540 is the same as HS-6
W571 is the same as HS-7 (both discontinued)
W572 is a newer powder from Hodgdon/Winchester and is different from both of those older powders.
