Bshooter Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I loaded some 200gr SNS coated bullets with 3.9gr of Ramshot Competition thinking it might be a little light. Chrono showed 173.4 power factor out of my STI Trojan. Needless to say the 4.0gr and 4.1gr were a little hot. Guess I will try 3.8gr and still be on the safe side. Was using VV320 at 4.1gr and getting about 166-167 power factor. Competition is a lot cheaper too. Bshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWallace Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 While I don't have any info for 1.180 OAL, I do have some info from a load I just completed. My Setup and Load: 5" STI 1.144 OAL 4.1 GR N320 200 GR TNT (More on this later) To reach 165 PF you need a minimum muzzle velocity of 825. I know most won't need this, but just for reference to get your PF the equation is (Bullet Weight X Muzzle Velocity)/1000 = PF. When chronoing, I did 2 separate rounds of 9 shots each. ROUND 1: 869 - 173.8 877 - 175.5 871 - 174.2 871 - 174.2 859 - 171.8 864 - 172.8 865 - 173 876 - 175.2 870 - 174 In the first round there was a FPS average of 869.11 and a PF average of 173.82 ROUND 2: 867 - 173.4 874 - 174.8 857 - 171.4 886 - 177.2 862 - 172.4 864 - 172.8 868 - 173.6 857 - 171.4 879 - 175.8 In the second round there was a FPS average of 868.22 and a PF average of 173.64 So I can reduce the powder load to 4.0 or maybe even 3.9 but as of now I'm very comfortable with the load. It shoots very flat and there is virtually no recoil/fireballs/anything wonky (scientific term there). In regards to the bullets I'm using, I was using 180 GR bayous before and met a local fellow a while back who makes these 200's. This test run was from a sample pack that he sent me and needless to say I'm very impressed with the quality of the bullets!! Consistent sizing and the coating is great! They also punch a nice hole [emoji4] I know he's on the forums, so I'll have to direct him to this post as he has some load info for 200gr bullets as well. Hope this helps!!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to try and become a forum dealer here shortly. BTW I'm using 4.3gr of 320 @ 1.17 and getting about 169 PF. Its been awhile since I've checked it though. I need to before I start loading for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
open17 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Was loading 4.5 N320, Bayou coated 200 RN, 1.200 OAL. It ran right at 172 out of a Tanfo Limited HC, and was pushing 180 out of a SV Sight-tracker with a AET barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm looking for 180g long loaded data, which they do not publish... Basically someone else running n320 and a 180 xtreme bullet loaded long. Not every bbl runs the same speed. I had 2, 5" Trojans that shot 30 fps different That said, I would start with 4.8 grains of 320 behind a 180 grain, chrono, and adjust as needed.
