4.8 grains of N320 at 1.185" gets me 169 PF in my 5.4 AET. I am using Blue Bullets and probably should be at 4.9-5.0 to safely make major. I was told to use 310 and that will be where I put more time in chronographing.

I thought you needed less powder than plated or fmj bullets with lead bullets to get the same velocity not more. Is them being coated what makes it require more?

Most people using FMJ are at about 5.4 grains of N320, so my 4.8 is less. There would be no need for me to even go over 5 grains to make major, but ymmv.

4.6 grains of N320 got me an avg of 168 pf with 180 gr. Blue Bullets.   Loaded to 1.185"

That is out of my 5.5" Freedom.

Im guessing 4.7 to 4.8 will work for you depending on how much room you want between you and the power floor.

4.5-4.8 grs VV320 Nowlin Barrell, 1.18,  SV, Dillon 1050.

MG or Zero 200gr

Use the same load for my two SS also.

Very soft.  Never a problem at the Desert Classic or WSSSC.  I have about 10 years worth of Chrono sheets.

Shorten the OAL and you can reduce the amount of powder.
