gm iprod Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Clays is brilliant as well. 124gr JHP 3.7gr = 1020fps. I have loaded as hot as 4.2gr but the pressure was getting nasty. Safe but not my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 My first choice is CFE Pistol Why cfe pistol. Considering starting to use that powder. Please give me any info you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterthefish Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Surprised there's no love for Ramshot Competition yet. I use that, N320, or e3. Nowadays I save my N320 for 40, so mostly Ramshot Comp. Clean too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docscoutjr Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks everyone for your feedback. As I am in Canada and our dollar doesn't buy as much as it used to, going to run with what I can get. We are paying $37-$45 per pound! if you buy singles. Good 'ol Unique and WSF will be on the top of my list. The physics/chemistry seem to be the same as with a .45, PUSH a heavy bullet, rather than SNAP a lighter one. 9mm is just scaled down and you don't have to worry as much about a tiny bit of powder in a huge case as in the 231 scenario mentioned.

Bkreutz Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 My first choice is CFE Pistol Why cfe pistol. Considering starting to use that powder. Please give me any info you have. I used W231 for decades, a few years back when powders got scarce, I started playing around looking for a replacement. I happened to try CFE Pistol and liked the way it worked. I don't believe the "Copper fouling eraser" bit for one second at the velocities of pistol rounds, but I like the way it loads. I load my minor to 136PF (5.2gr under a 124gr bullet). I use Autocomp for major PF but know shooters who use CFE for major. I may try that sometime, but I have a lot of Autocomp on hand so it will be a while before I try it.

ActionJackson Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Alliant Promo. 2.8 under a 147 coated bullet will make minor all day. No dirtier than TG and $100 / 8 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger49931 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 so question for all the n320 guys what is the SD your getting across a load quantity of say 50 ? same top the CFE guys ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Wst. Run it out of my open gun shooting steel with 124gr and revolver shooting minor with 147 bullet both work great. I Also use it for 40. Edited April 26, 2016 by Shmella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I never could understand the hype of n320. It's clean, meters nice, but accuracy for me was so so, and the standard deviation was all over the place. I had as high as in the 30,s. With tight group it was a little dirtier, but metered great, accuracy was better and I got sd's as low as 6 over 5 rnds. I still play with 320 but my go to is tight group, it's also readily available and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmella Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I went up to 4.5 gr with a 125g blue bullet. I dont remember what it chronoed at though. Ill have to check again. I might back it down just for steel because I think it was over 130PF. I'll update when I chrono again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads from 4.0 gr to 4.5 gr. All were slightly more accurate for me than Titegroup, WSF and Clays. 4.0 grains did not cycle the gun reliably but 4.5 did and might have a slight edge in accuracy. I haven't chrono'd mine yet either. Will hopefully have time this weekend. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbyam22 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I see a lot of 320, now I'm curious to try. I've run Bullseye and Unique for my 9mm minor (115,124gr) and 45acp (160, 200, 230gr) Bullseye meters better, feels similar to wst or sr7625 when shooting. Fast burner, soft recoil. Bit dirty as some have mentioned, but not bad. Tried some slower powders, Power pistol, HS6 etc but don't like them as much for minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
