Accurate Nitro 100

[Nicoli7153]

Does anyone have any experience loading Nitro 100 in .40? Good or bad? Considering it.

Bump,

I would like to know too.
I'm from Canada, and we are feeling the drought bad. Powder is sold same day it comes in. At this point I cant find any clays, e3, tightgroup. To be honest I cant even find much stuff online in the US.

I did come across come nitro 100 NF, but I cant seem to find any load data for it.

I would be firing this through an STI EDGE in .40 , 180 gn and I load to 1.19 would need to make PF 165 USPSA & 170 IPSC.
(currently have a stock pile of extreme bullets projectiles, ) .

I did check the burn rate chart, https://www.hodgdon.com/PDF/Burn%20Rates%20-%202014-2015.pdf , and nitro seems to be faster than e3, how ever less than VV N310 which some people here use.

I just loaded up some Nitro 100 for minor loads. I will try major soon. It appears to be slightly slower than N310.

5.4" Akai

180gr Xtreme Plated

125PF average and comically soft

CZ Tactical Sport

135PF average! Apparently my TS has a fast barrel or the AET barrel on the Akai is slow?

Local lgs has jugs of nitro and competition, will be testing competition, e3, n320, bullseye and 7625. Have been using wst.

I will be watching for any nitro data.

I loaded 185 grain coated bullet over 2.9 grains gets me 133pf out of a stock 2 in 40. CCI primers 1.125 oal. If you go to low the powder seems to not burn completely. Also side note was getting good ES.
