hf219 What brand barrel are you using? How many rounds through it? 4.5 should get you there reliably I would think........ STI Bull Barrell. Not sure on round count, although its probably got 30K plus. 4.5, I hope so, just made up round for the WPA Sectional, not the kind of person to roll the dice, It should be good to go though.

Ok, just tried the 4.4 charge 1.20 OAl, PSPM primers, 200 Zero FP with a 810 avg FPS. Just shy of the mark. Just loaded up with 4.5 grn charge, have to recheck, Im guessing its at 165 min. PF though. I will say this much, after running about 30 rounds through my gun, the barrel was amazingly cool to the touch. TightGroup woulda had my finger blistered if I touched it. VVN320 really meters extremly well and the Avg spread is very tight. This is some good stuff, very thankful Burwell, talked me into using the stuff. So much easier to work with. As soon as I chrono the 4.5 charge Ill give you all the avg FPS info. Thanks for some good starting points. H!

What gun are you using? Also, what do you think adding another.03 grains will bump your load to? Im just getting the Zero 200 with VV320 formula going. Just tried a 4.0 charge with a 5" bull barrel and it got me 750fps across the board on 30 rounds mixed head stamp with Fed. SPM primers, 1.2 OAL. Im going to try a 4.4 charge and recheck. Thanks for some input. H!

Good luck Seth, Fredericksburg PSA, the Virginia/Maryland section and Area 8 have benefited from your tireless efforts. We couldn't thank you enough for all you've done for everyone. South Carolina will be getting a good friend and an excellent Match Director down there! Im sure you will be welcomed and appreciated in your new home. I would say you'll be missed, although Im sure you will come north for the usual great Section Match the VA/MD puts on. Thank you, Harry Foltz A8 Director.

Thanks to RUSSELL??? That's just wrong! Well he did get them posted! LOL!And of course Seth, you did a great job on the artwork and putting them all together. I know how much work is involved in this and its greatly appreciated. Sometimes the easiest job is the last one seen. Thanks Harry.

Due to circumstances beyond my control I will not be able to participate. I changed jobs and moved out of the area. Can someone PM me the name and e-mail of who I need to contact for a refund? Thanks, PM Sent.

Thanks Russell for getting them posted. 252 Rounds, bring extra ammo, there will be some great shooting to be had at this match! H!
