I use HS-6 primarily for 45.
ACP, or Colt? I'm going to assume ACP. In which case . . .

Me too. HS-6 pushes the heavy 230's really nice. And being a rather lackadaisical propellant, it's real forgiving as you do your work-ups. i.e. it's not "spikey," and gives lots of warning that pressure is getting excessive. That's also why I recommend it for the novice loader who is doing work-ups for high-power applications. It won't deliver winning velocities, but it'll get you up in that neighborhood with no surprises.

Great stuff - once you understand its personality and use it accordingly.
