Rcarv6 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, I've been using 200 gr blue bullets for the last few months but can't seem to get them to group very tight. Thinking about going to a jacketed bullet. Any recommendations on good jacketed bullets? I've heard good things about the 180 jacketed hollow point Montana gold, but don't know much about them. Currently using vv320 powder. Any advice/load data would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Edited October 4, 2015 by Rcarv6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mont1120 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I was using the same bullet, then just recently switched tot he Montana Gold 165 grain hollow point just to test any difference. I was not surprised at all, the Golds are the best bullet out there. I have gotten to the point I needed much better accuracy, and the Golds provide that. I do not use N320, but have tested CFE (did not like), and Titegroup. The TG ran well at 4.6 grains of TG, and reduced loads down to 3.6 produced a minor load I really liked the feel of. I will be chrono testing these in a few weeks. Also going to try out 700X which seems to be a decent substitute for Clays, which is by far my favorite powder in .40, but can't find for whatever reasons. WST is also on the list of test powders with this bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 5.0g n320 168 PF at Rio match chrono. I'd bump that up .1 or .2 grains, unless you're willing to risk shooting a match as minor instead of major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbo76 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have made a 168-169 at every match with a chrono for the last 5 years. I believe my risk has been mitigated with historical results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
