Superpipe9 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Does anyone have a good 9mm minor load using ramshot competition? I am using a 135tc blue bullet. I have heard that this stuff is really close to if not better than VV n320. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I run ramshot comp for 40 major but could not get it to work well for minor 9. Went with titegroup for 9 but still shoot ramshot for 40 major. its cheap and it works great for that caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Only used it in 147gr. Was clean and soft but I didn't like the mess that it left on my press. Went back to Clay Dot and most recently Prima V & SV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I've been using it with 147gr bullets for my Tanfos and PCC with success. Shoots just like my N320 load, average 130pf out of the Tanfos and 140pf out of my 16" PCC. Use 3.4g @ 1.10 OAL. Have yet to try if for .40.

TCWriter Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) After reading all the positive reviews from a couple years ago, I bought 16 pounds of RSC when it became available (it was one of the first fast powders I could get after the shortage). It's clean and meters well, but it's proven to be inconsistent, and the reverse temperature sensitivity turned my 129 power-factor, chronoed-in-the-winter load into a gamer load on a hot afternoon. I'm still using it, but now that I can buy VN320, thinking of using that for match ammo while burning up the RSC for practice rounds. I'd say it works, but the stuff I got is not in the same league as 320. Maybe the formulation has been changed.

TCWriter Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Forgot to mention: I was shooting 9mm minor (147 grain SNS coated) out of a G34 and G19. Maybe slightly stronger loads are more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixfella58 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I also tried RSC in 9mm with 147 Bayou's and got wild SD's & ES's so I went with N320 for the 147's in my M&P Pro 9. You guys that tried it in .40 mind sharing your starting loads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 4.6g with 180g blue bullet at 1.215 oal out of a 5" SV with AET barrel. Makes USPSA major PF, though just barley at area 4 since they weighed my bullet at 178g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
