e-mishka Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Right now im loading Berrys 147gn RN with 3.4gn of N320 at 1.140 oal @ 132pf. I got some sample pack of 160 gn Bayou bullets and want to try loading them with same powder i have now. Is it generally a safe bullet weight to load in 9mm? In any case, looking for some loading data for Bayou 160gn and N320 powder minor load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I know someone that uses the 160 Bayou with I believe N320 as well... not sure of the loads... maybe he'll chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathandewalt Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I shoot 160 bayous with 2.5 - 2.6 gr of bullseye at 1.120 shoots pretty good. No primer flattening at all. I have use longshot as well with similar results. It makes a great bunny fart load to the point I had to change my recoil spring. Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badkarma Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Duh, must be late... I was looking for a 160 grain minor load for .38 super.... I'll ask my question elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 bump...No one has a recipe using 320? 160gr Bayou 2.5gr N 320 or 3.0gr WSF That said, I have tried these loads in my 1911 9MM Springfield with 8# spring, Sig 226 9MM, CZ SP01 Shadow, 9MM AR, M&P Pro 9MM, and M&P Compact. They work great and are accurate in the Springfield and the M&P Compact. Sig needed lighter springs, M&P Pro needed lighter springs, CZ really liked them, 9MM AR functioned and was accurate to the 50 yards I tested, and forgot my Tanfoglio that hated the load. I buy them sized .356 and have used them for about 2 years. I also had Donnie make me some uncoated while he was doing a special run and use them for steel and practice with the 1911. Of all those guns tested, only one I still have and use are the M&P compact and the 1911. Those 2 guns really like the loads and they work well for me with my limited abilities.
