Honkeymcgee Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hey guys. Picked up 6lbs of N350 for a price I couldn't turn down and could use some help with load data. I am specifically looking for the combo in the titles, 38SC using N350, and a 124/125gr bullet. Not to be rude but if you aren't running this combo or something extremely close(like maybe a 115 bullet instead) I don't need the data. I'm running a CK gun with 3 popple holes and a cheeley comp. Appreciate the help in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevrofreak Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Not a .38sc, but in 9 major 7.2gr of N350 with a PD 124 JHP at 1.155 put me right at 165pf. That might be a good place to start. You will likely end up at or above 7.5gr because of your longer OAL. Edit: That was from a CK 9mm with 3 popple.

outerlimits Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Almost same setup-FGW 38SC. 7.7 gr of vvn350 gets me 169, 2 poppleholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture to say closer to 7.8-8.0 based on based on the difference I saw going from 9 to 38 and I like to run around 175PF. Mine started as a 9mm Good starting info for sure though!

TacticalJesus Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Just got an open gun with 3 holes. I started with 8.4 and was was to hot. Down to 8.2 and still pushing 1740fps. Just did two more loads at 8.0 and 7.8 to try out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 8.4 load must have been around PF230, or so .... How did the brass and gun look after firing a few of those? I usually start LOW on the powder scale, and work up slowly, with my chrono. Starting high can lead to real problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalJesus Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 That is what I was told buy the gun builder to use. And that was a typo! Not 1740, 1440! Did some loads on chrono this weekend. Settled with 7.8gr VV350, put me at a 170pf. On 10/15/2017 at 12:19 PM, theWacoKid said: This is how "accidents" happen. Typo on that 1740! Probably would not be typing this right now.

Mikeski Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Based on the vv tables 124 gr fmj with 6.9 gn of 350 at 1.26oal will get you 1275fps. So with popple holes and shorter oal. I'd start at 7.6 gn and work up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJan Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 38SC. 8.0 N350 under PD 124 JHP at 1.24" runs nice at 172pf in my full size open gun with just comp, no holes in the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
