[Bayou bullets in an open gun.]

Thanks for all the help and advise. I'll going to order 500 38 super bullets from Donnie and give them a try. I have an unused bottle of Dillon case lube living around from when I ordered my 550.

My next question is, fires anyone have a good starting point for VV N350 with coated bullets to make major? I know it takes less powder then a jacketed bullet but I'm just looking for a good starting point.

Startingpoint for N350: I use N350 since 2014.My matchLoad:

7.85gr of N350,124gr coated bullet,RWS-leadless primer,31,50mm OAL,tapercrimp.Made pf 165 at German Nationals!Use at your own risque!

Best regards

[Which 38sc barrel and comp is best?]

Hi from Germany,

I too got a barrel from Nowlin in my LES BAER 1996-Open.It was upgrated by a great gunsmith to:5 inch barrel,4,5 slide and HPS-Comp.My IPSC-load for EUROPE-shot in Portugal was 9.6 gr. 3N38 and was chronogr. with Faktor of 172 -32 Degree Celsius!

In Germany I shoot N350 with Faktor of 165.Bullet 123gr. LOS under 7.8 gr. N350 and Geco leadless Primer,OAL 31.50 mm.The load is verry reliable and accurade!The LOS-bullets are equal to Montana Gold.

Hope that helps!

Hope that helps
