It's still a new powder. I'm sure if you have a more Mom and Pop type store instead of a big box in your area that you use and they sell Alliant they could get it for you. It seems to be growing in popularity because the store I use that always had it doesn't have any right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinimon Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Yeah, it usually takes a while longer to get into Canada. I'll be grabbing a jug of it when they do show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlockGuy1 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) FINALLY MADE MAJOR PF 5” 2011 w/KKM Barrel 200 gr Blue Bullet 1.175” OAL 4.2 gr Sport Pistol Avg FPS = 865 (10 rd string) PF = 173 Temp: 79 Humidity: 93% I plan on adjusting my OAL back to 1.185” and testing again. It sounds and feels different than Titegroup.. Not sure if it “feels” softer than TG, but it meters consistently and I have 8 lbs left so I reccon I’ll use it for a while.

Thanks for the info, a great reference for me as we have a near identical set up (even to the humidity and temp)! I just ordered a keg of Sport Pistol, as I just ran out of TG this weekend... What are you loading on for metering purposes? that's a concern of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan45kim Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I’ve been running sport pistol in 9 minor and 40 major for two years now, it’s the most temperature stable pistol powder I’ve used. I run 4.8grs under a S&S 180gr coated bullet and has cronoed between 170-175 at every major I’ve shot with it. It’s my new favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I picked up an 8# jug during Graf's recent sale. I currently have 9mm (135gr) and .40 (180 & 200 gr) loads worked up using N320 and Prima V/SV. Now to do the same with SP over the fall/winter. Should be interesting and fun.

Superpipe9 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I haven’t shot a lot of this powder yet but this load was pretty good. No smoke, no flash, metered very well and cronoed very consistently it’s close to vvn320 and WST but I think it is has a snappier feel to it. I am using a Cz TSO. I will shoot the 1 pound that I have and see how dirty this is can’t really tell from the little amount if shot so far. 4.65g sport pistol 180 blue bullet 1.145 OAL 945 FPS average 170 PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promtcy Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I just loaded 1K rounds in the last two days. Stuff meters great in my LNL, better than N320. I was spot checking and it was never off at all. I use the exact same load as I did with N320. Para P16.40 4.6 grains 180 grain Blue Bullets 1.18 OAL I chrono'd some rounds a couple weeks ago and the avg with 4.6 grains was 943.2 for 169.78 power factor. Low was 912, high 958, Std Dev was 12.73. They hit in the exact same POI as my N320. Accuracy was close enough I couldn't tell them apart. Gonna work on some 9mm rounds next with 125 grain Blue Bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m currently loading 4.5gr of TG at 1.334 OAL making PF at 170ish for my TSO. I have one pound each of SP and N320 on the way, and I also have a bunch of HS6 that I bought for loading 9major. curious to know what your load was using the n320, and also if you had and reliability issues loading at 1.145 OAL? appreciate any advice that any of you have!

With n320 I used 4.52gr at the same 1.145oal and had almost the same result as the sport pistol. I have not had a single issue with the OAL but I would recommend you plunk test your barrel before loading a bunch. They should be nearly identical but I have heard of variations.

Appreciate the feedback man. Have you ever shot TG? If so, would you say the 320/SP has a softer recoil impulse? I know both of these will be infinitely cleaner than the TG, just curious if there are other benefits as well... thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
