kneelingatlas Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 3N38 or N105 will serve you well under a 115gr, ~10+gr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Try about 10gr of VV N105 and work up. I load 115jhp with N105...10.5 at 1.235OAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerritm Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) I use 124 PD JHP with 8.5gr of HS6 in my DVC. Works well for me. I tried a couple of different 115gr loads with HS6 and didn't like the way they felt, too jumpy. gerritm Edited September 23, 2016 by gerritm more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KermitShooter Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 7.2 grains of AutoComp with 124 Montana Gold JHP, or 9.8 grains of 3N38 same bullet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a matt Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) N105 for 115 and 3n38 for 124. But they will work ether way. That just my opinion. Chees Edited September 24, 2016 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurusty Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 135 grain BBI or Bayous over 9.5 grains of Blue Dot gives me a 171PF out of a 5" with a 3 port comp. Shoots really flat with a 9# spring.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar15rick Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I just recently tried a load I was told and I really liked it. I need to play with it a little more because the velocities are way to high but the gun feels vey flat. I tried the following: 115 Gr MG JHP Accurate 7 @ 11.5 gr. OAL at 1.240 1,585 FPS which puts me at 182 power factor. I will be trying with less powder tomorrow and see what it feels like. I never thought I was going to like a power factor of 182 but wow it was really flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I have good results with AA#7@11.2gr, 1.235 OAL w/115gr MG JHP. Gets me about 170pf out of a schuemann 5.4" barrel with three ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting 175 power factor but that much powder worked the comp well. The comp I am using is the Brazos thunder comp 2. I am loading the 115 gr. MG JHP and it's very flat.
