3gunDQ Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 What powder? Check book loads for 40, a lot of book loads make major with 180s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like tag is trying lighter bullets and slower powders to make his comp work in his OPEN gun. The 180's and fast powders are better for Limited guns.

tag129 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thx guys I have a loading data for longshot and would like to try N105 but I don't have any data for it. My comp is a custom made and will have 3 popper holes on the barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I printed up a list of powders on the market and its ranked on burn rate not sure where I got it but google knows. I use HP38 aka win231. Its slower than tightgroup, I have not loaded 135s. I would load 10-each of my best guess up and down and paper it. Know what recoil spring you will use?

Should probably go slower than 231/hp38. For open... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Google Hogdon relative burn rates. Includes different mfgs. In relative rank hp/ 231=28, unique=31, blue dot=51. You have a long barrel and better sight picture with the 35, and there is something about the bullet in the barrel longer to spin and be more accurate. Interested in what powder speed makes sense, depending on if its paper or reactive steel and the distance. A slower powder makes on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 11 or 13 but it depends on the comp. i will try longshot and Autocomp first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
