Arturo Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I am switching from 9 major to 38 supercomp. I am a big fan of VihtaVuori powders. I will be using 124 grain Montana Gold JHP. I am looking for VV loads that produce tons of comp running gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get plenty of gas with a major 3N38 load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I am actually building/having built a 4.5" gun using a KKM barrel and a Lone Star Innovations comp. 4 popples. Should be close to a Brazos Pro SX. LSI comp is really good. Edited December 13, 2015 by Arturo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwontanamo Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 welcome back from the dark side.i'm using 8.5 grains with 3N37My barrel has 4 hybrid holes with the 3 port infinity comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hahaha. Thanks Kwontanamo. I am actually fairly new to open. I started out with 9 but quickly saw the advantage of a bigger case of 38 for more powder to run the comp. My 9 major open is good and accurate, but a little flippy. Not terrible, but the flattest shooting open guns I have seen are all 38 super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be close to a Brazos Pro SX. LSI comp is really good. N105 is good/gassy for that set-up, but its pricey. 3N38 works good too, but throws an occasional fireball from barrel holes that aren't actual hybrids. Seems to bother some people.

sauza45 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 N105 is all I use. That Is what Brazos recommends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gunDQ Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I run 9.4-9.5 grains of 3n38 with 124 JHP MontanaGold's with an OAL of 1.24. 168 PF out of a 5" barrel with three ports and a 6 port comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 3n37. All the great properties of 3n38, but no fireballs, and don't have to nearly fill the case up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) I don't know man, that fireball thing sounds kinda fun! LOL!! Thanks for all the input guys. The 3N37 has me intrigued. I want to try it. I think I am going to start with the N105. We will see how she runs. Probably 9.8 and work up.

Walküre Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 All with a 124gr CMJ. 5" Tanfoglio Custom, no holes, 4-port comp 9.5gr 3N38 @ 1.260" for 174 PF 4.5" Tanfoglio Gold Team, 12 holes, 2-port comp 10.2gr 3N38 @ 1.250" for 170 PF 10.7gr N105 @ 1.250" for 170 PF I was running 3N38 for quite a while until recently - I decided to start looking at other powders when it got hard to get last year, and have just switched this year. It's a great powder, but like all VV, it can be pricey and isn't as easily available as certain others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 VV availability can depend on where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
