kcobean Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I got my hands on 8 lbs of Ramshot comp and need to work up a Major PF load for .40 using 200 grain bullets. I'm using 3.9 grains of N320 currently (which I love) and based on which burn-rate chart you look at, Competition is similar. Does it sound safe to start at 3.6 grains and go up based on chrono results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Can't help you with the load, but I've really been wanting to find some Ramshot Comp. I havent found it ANYWHERE though in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I ended up at 4.2, but all barrels are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 See Ramshot's online data. 2.5gn start for 200gn lead. No data for jacketed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several new coated bullets are marketed now and they all work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheers623 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 For a Moly coated Bear creek, 200gr I use 4.2gr of Ramshot Comp seated to 1.185" in my 3 5" Edge type guns. For plated I use 200gr Xtreme RNFP and 4.4gr of Ramshot Comp seated to 1.185". Both average 172PF in all of the guns. These loads feel so much softer than my old 180gr recipes. Hope that helps, Cheers623 DVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps, Cheers623 DVC What kind of barrel do you have in them? In two of my guns (stock STI Tacticals) I have the factory stainless barrels that they put in their "Edge" type pistols. In my JPL Custom gun I have a KKM barrel. Of the 3, the KKM is the slowest by 20-30 fps average but slightly more accurate. Hope that helps.

I thought kkm were faster than the sti and shuemann barrels but I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
