I'm looking for an new open minor load something soft I'm currently using 4.2 gr of n320 behind a 115jhp 125-130 PF I like it just want to see what you guys are running and how you like it needs to be able to knock down steel poppers plates etc

For my 9 minor Limited gun, I use 4.1gr N320 with a 124gr MG JHP for a 120 PF. I use this for steel challenge.

For USPSA and for knockdown steel I bump it to 4.4 grains to get it 129 power factor.

For my 9minor Open gun I use 6.3gr of N350 and a 115gr MG JHP for a 140PF.

I used 4gr of titegroup under an xtreeme 124 bullet in my Trubor. Worked great with stock internals.

It felt like a pea shooter and had more of a lobbing feel than snap.

I never had an issue of needing to shoot steel more than once to knock it down.

It's not totally full. It's a heavy 1/8" from the top. But it's full enough that occasionally some will bounce out :(

Not much compressed though. I've gone from 1.165 OAL to now using 1.140.

use a slower powder (N320)

I've never used N320, but I have the impression it is a "fast" powder,

ideal for non-comped guns.

The slower powders are WAC and HS6, as an example.

And even though the comp isn't "working" as well as at 175 PF, the

recoil is much lighter to start with, and the gun/comp is pretty heavy. :cheers:

I've been using Win 231 with 115 or 125 JHP.

Depending on how your gun is sprung.

You might be able to start in the Mid 4 grain range.

I use a low 5 grain load with my gun set-up for major loads.

1.165 OAL for me.

I don't want to change springs every time I shoot steel or I could

probably lower my powder charge.
