  1. The gun is spending to much time under recoil, that's why it feels strange compared to your 180's

    You want the slide to be snappy, which is what you get using N320 and 180, you can get the same result with a 200, but it needs a different powder.

    Solo 1000 works great with the 180 and works with the 230 in .45, not so with the 200

    Well, my 3 week experimentation with 200gr bullets is over now, I'm back to 180's. My barsto .40 limited gun (basically an Edge) doesn't like the 200's with solo. It is hard to put a finger on why it didn't work, it just acted weird in recoil. The load was softer than the 180 load at the same PF, but the sights tracked weird (not straight up and down). I shot a steel match today and switched to 180s for the last stage and my hits were much better.

  2. A good rule to remember.

    Faster powder, lighter bullet, slow powder, heavy bullet.

    N320 is great for 180gr

    N340 works for the 200

    I know a couple of people who tried N310 with the 165, but N310 is risky.

    I just bought a 1lb of Solo 1000, it's burn rate is very close to N320, it's also $17/lb

    Clays is another powder for .40, start at 4.0 but load long.

    My OAL for all my .40 loads is 1.220 out of a 5" STI Edge

  3. N320 is all I've ever used in .40, I'm at 4.9/1.220 with MG 180's and make 169PF out of my 5" Edge.

    N340 is perfect for the 200gr bullet, I have no load data, but know a couple of people who have made this their primary load.

    N310 with a 165 maybe, no load info.

    As others have said, it's a clean burning powder, also the powder is not temp sensitive, like many others.

    I just bought a pound of Solo 1000, have heard its burn rate is very very close to N320 and it's $17/lb.
