Mturnbull333 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Has anybody out there had any luck making major with 9mm with vit 3n38 and Montana gold 115 gr hollow point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I use 115 rn and SP2 which is pretty similar, how long is your barrel? Holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mturnbull333 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 5" barrel with 2 holes, we loaded up to 9 gr and started getting a little nervous about the amount we where compressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 What OAL? I make ~170 with 9.3gr of SP2 at ~1.15" 9.5gr at 1.146" made 181 out of my 5.1" barrel with no holes. I even pushed some 100 grainers to 1,650fps with 10gr of SP2, powder was almost to the rim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond1975 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 3n38 taking more volume at the same weight as SP2 I have used both in my 38super but ik like the sp2 better, 3n38 giving a lot of flams in my gun with copperplated bulets, and sp2 shoots flatter for my feeling.

Mturnbull333 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Wish SP2 was available in the states I've heard a lot of good things about, with 9 gr of n38 the case is just about full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Did you chrono the 9gr loads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Forget 115 and 3n38 in 9 major. It takes about 10 gna with 121s in 38 super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Slight thread drift but Kneeling, YOU HAVE SP2??? That stuff is the Holy Grail for Open. OP, I think you may run out of case before you get enough powder in there. Go slow, chrono and keep an eye for pressure signs if you want to give it a try.
