lynn jones Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 for my open gun: 5.5gr winchester super field 115 cmj montana gold about 130 pf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oak hill Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks for the info. Yes, forgot to mention for an open gun. I will most likely use 115 gr bullets, but am tempted to try 90 gr bullets depending on what others have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trodrig Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm currently using 4.9 of n320 with a Montana Gold 115 jhp. If I remember correctly it's about 140pf in my Trubore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outerlimits Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 4.2 of VVN320 with 115's get's me 1,029 fps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 N320 or Titegroup dominate minor 38Super and Comp loads down here. 115gr JHP all seem to be in and around 4.5 to 4.9gr of either. Depending on barrel length you will get between 125pf and 135pf. I personally use 4.5gr TG and get 1090fps from my old STI 6". 4.2gr TG with 125gr JHP will give 1030fps in my 6" and 1000ish in an old 5.5" Springfield Open Gun, barrel is a Nowlin.
