VV N320 vs. N340 for 40cal will there be a difference in felt recoil?

[ans3288]

hi guys!

i currently use

N320 4.1

chrono (865 fps)

200gr bullets

will using N340 result in a softer felt recoil?

(i assume i have to increase powder charge to get the same chrono value)

any inputs guys?

Stay with the 320, doubtful 340 would feel better,

since 340 is a slower burning gunpowder than 320, and you'll need more of it to make the same velocity (with the same bullet weight), you'll likely get more recoil.

see the link below for an explanation:

Ditto! faster impulse with the 320.

thanks for the reply guys, all the while i thought that a slower burning powder will give a softer felt recoil...

Yeah, that's what most of us thought until someone walked us through it...then it's like "duh, of course!".

I have had good luck with N310, 180gr or 200gr; start load of 4.0.
