The two tone gun looks very nice. Almost makes me want to get another SP-01 like that one. Thanks for keeping us updated with the custom shops new items.
Will you be shooting with MPPL? We have a 101 class Aug 22 or an earlier match on Aug 8. If so I'll see you there! I usually shoot Limited, but production sometimes with my sp-01.
PM me if you have any questions.
I shoot precision 147gr in 9mm over 3.0gr of N320 loaded to 1.105 for my SP-01. Makes 131PF. They work great with not that much smoke and a very soft feel.
Sal, I was very surprised as well. My thought is the short OAL I have to load for my gun. The chrono tell the story and I guess that's why we start low and work up.
Ten shot strings out of a full size gun with no barrel holes. The powders I used were HS-6 and AutoComp seated with MG 124gr JHP and WSP loaded to 1.170.
HS-6
Avg velocity. PF
7.9 1358.5 168.5
8.1 1391.3 172.5
8.3 1492.6 185.1
AutoComp
6.8 1367.3 169.5
6.9 1380.5 171.2
7.0 1401.7 173.8
Edit to add: loads are for 9 major
Here's my N320 loads I made up and put through the chrono. Everything remained the same, just changed powder.
3.0 gr N320
Avg velocity 885
PF 130.98
3.2 gr N320
Avg velocity 966
PF 142.97
The comparison between the two was very different. The autocomp load has more "flip" then the N320 which is expected due to it being a slower powder. The N320 has a nice quick "push" and small "flip" is the best I can describe it. We all know the slower powder is going to do what I described above. I just wanted to experiment since I had both powders available.
Adding my data to the pile. I answered my own question by making up some loads with autocomp. The only reason why I wanted to try it because it was in my powder dispenser already. 10 shot strings out of a CZ SP01 loaded to 1.105 topped with precision bullets 147gr and federal sp primers. The handfull I weighed were 148.1gr-148.3gr. I used 148 for the PF calculation
3.5 gr of autocomp
Avg velocity 870.9
PF 128.9
3.7gr autocomp
Avg velocity 897.6
PF 132.8
3.9gr autocomp
Avg velocity 938.7
PF 138.9
I will be loading N320 next and will post data along with a comparison between the two powders.
+1 here too. I'm no expert, but 8gr of powder for minor seems like way too much, becareful
edit to add link: Look here for some good minor load data
