10ring Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Does anyone know what powder Atlaanta Arms uses in their 38 Super Auto loads with the 125 gr JHP? What bullet do they use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 They won’t be using something you can buy off the shelf as far as powder. Something purchased in bulk designed for manufacturers, instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends in the business and they could not dig out the correct answer. Would love to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyLV Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Quite by coincadence, I called them last week to find out what powder they used in their 38SC. The girl that answered didn't know, their tech guy was gone for the day so I left my email address. The next day I received an email that said that the type of powder they use was proprietary.

It’d be ridiculous for them to give any other answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) What difference does it make? Do they have some Magic powder? They don’t and if we take our time when we load out owns billets we can come up with better Ammo for our owns guns than AA can. Thanks Edited October 11, 2017 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The difference was that SVI states that 3N38 is the only approved powder for their guns with ports. I was interested to know if they used that powder. "The only powder we recommend for use with our IMM Open® firearms with hybrid holes or ports in the barrels is VV 3N38. There are no known substitutes at this time.

a matt Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) After a year it doesn’t matter what they recommend, it’s not like they offer a lifetime warranty, all though i dont kniw about the original owner situation. I only know about an SV just over a year old and being the 2nd owner. I run 3n38 and I have played with AA#7 and that is about the closest to 3n38 avalible in the states but Vetcan SP-2 is closer than AA#7 but we have have not been able to get it in the states for a while now.

Walnut Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 On a similar topic, I have been shooting and carrying Sig V-Crown 125 gr factory ammo for my 5" Super. The factory load chrono's at 1247 fps avg of 15 rounds fired @ 15 feet. Went home pulled a bullet looked at the powder, looked just like Power Pistol, weight 5 factory rounds avg was 6.7gr. Called Sierra for load data on the bullet (they make the bullet for Sig) and the max load for Power Pistol is 7.8gr which is well above 6.7gr. Loaded 5.7gr with a some V-crown bullets I bought at the gunshop and shot them. 15 rounds avg 1245 fps @ 15 feet which I would say is pretty darn close.

chevrofreak Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It could have been a BE-86 if it looked like Power Pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
