harleyrider8276 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Due to the unavailability of vv n320, does anyone have some alternate powder suggestions. I'm using .40 cal 180 g Bayou Bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I use 5.2 gr of WW231/HP38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic_jon Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I would say the "usual suspects" of Titegroup, Universal, solo 1000, HP38, WST, etc. I used 3.2gr of plain Clays at one point and it worked well but you really need to pay attention as plain Clays is hot and you can double charge it and still have a lot of case left over if you do not look in each case.

Croomrider Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 About the same weight of WST, maybe a tenth or two more will give you the same velocity as N320. It is reverse temperature sensitive though. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 3.3 to 3.6 of e3 works really well also, shoots clean and from what I can tell is not temperature sensitive. Feels just like Clays or maybe a tick softer at the same PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohsevenflhx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) 180 Bayou, 3.7gr E3, 1.130 OAL, 918fps/165PF 180 Bayou, 3.9gr E3, 1.130 OAL, 946fps/170PF I usually use Solo 1000, but have been reading allot about Alliant E3, so I tried it. It seems to have the same feel as Solo 1k. There was little smoke. I haven't accuracy tested it yet at 25 yards, and 50 yards. Chrono work was done today at 24 degrees. Someone else had some chrono readings at various temps, and the E3 seems temperature stable. Edited November 27, 2013 by ohsevenflhx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Donnie recommended Winchester Super Field (wsf) I have used it for practice and VVN320 for match ammo. Not much difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Due to the unavailability of vv n320, does anyone have some alternate powder suggestions. I'm using .40 cal 180 g Bayou Bullets. Start out with 4.3 grains of WST....you will be pleased wiih the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I've found WSF "field" works very well as a nice replacement powder for VV. Obviouly you can not use the same amount of powder as VV. It shoots soft and is no problem to clean up when your ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikaze1a Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I think Clays is even harder to find than N320... Getting good results with WST but would like to try WSF if I could just find some. Edited December 6, 2013 by kamikaze1a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 No clays for a while looks like. Plant fire or something. Have plenty of it but too hot for 40 major and lacks accuracy with 147 s A few have had good luck with clays and 124 s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTpistolshooter Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I have switched to WST, since its all I can find. Thus far I have been happy with it. If I can find some WSF, I'll try it as well. Hopefully we can get back to powders being readily available again, so we don't have to have these threads.

MarkCO Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If you like Solo or n320, consider E3. That and WSF are my favorite pistol powders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
