Hi guys from the west!
I am new here and i was wondering if we could get some more loading data for the Tanfoglio Gold Customs .38 SA V12 users together.
I didn't really find much that was in current use for these guns?! Just something with VV 3N38 but it was from the year 2008 i belive!? Would that be all?
Currently i am test-shooting with swiss-made powders. It's called Relaod Swiss RS24. I don't know if you guys can get this in the USA?!
I am using the following components:
Reload Swiss RS24 9.5gr
CCI 550 SP Magnum primers
Nickel Remington + P brass .38 SA
COL: 31.6mm ( 1.245 )
.355 124gr ( more around 122.5gr to 123gr if you ask me!) GECO FMJ 2318143 bullet. Lenght of the bullet is 15.54mm (0.612)
I am just getting around 1270 to max. 1320 FPS. Not enough for major factor with some reserve. Next week i will try it with 9.7gr!
But are there some others handloads which some guys use RIGHT NOW? Such with major power factor and enough reserve and clean burn?!
The barrel with the V12 sucks a lot of powder so i think there is always 9gr + needed with every other products. If not even more!
I am pretty sure i can get these powder at my location: VV 3N37, VV 3N38, VV N105, Vectan SP2, Alliant Blue Dot and others i don't know which fit for .38SA
I would be very happy for some good advices!!
THX and cheers!
