Bullets Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 4.5 n320 with 180 bbi works well for me. I have to load them short though for my gun. 1.120. 170pf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 What @Bullets said, although I load a bit longer (1.14)! Shot through my G35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullets Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 For 200s you are probably gonna be around 4.0 - 4.1 of n320 depending on length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike4045 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I prefer 320 for all loads but I ran out and about 32 pounds of titegroup. I need to work up a load with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcazes Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well I went with 200gr bbi over 4.9gr of autocomp oal of 1.13 crimp at .420 Holy cow I love this load. I had some unburnt powder left behind but I need to chrono this load. It was super accurate and soft shooting. I sure hope this is somewhere In the 170pf range because it felt AMAZING compared to the 185 blazer and 165 Winchester I had to shoot while waiting on my new press. That's a whole nother story going from an sdb to 650 with bullet feeder and case feeder lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of using this combo on my XDm 5.25" with Hornady 180gr XTP HP plated bullets to make major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of using this combo on my XDm 5.25" with Hornady 180gr XTP HP plated bullets to make major. XTP are a bit spendy, IMO I would look at some of the coated options. I'm in the same boat as you (sort of) just getting in to USPSA, but not new to loading. For instance you could go on >>shooters connection<< and get 500 bullets for a few bucks more then what 200 of the Hornady XTP are going to cost you. ETA: (just used that link because I had them open in another tab already) Edited June 2, 2017 by Wolfmetalfab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1_Demon Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Wolfmealtfab - I appreciate it. Ya, I didn't know at the time and I got all my stuff from one place when I bought my reloading equipment, so I just purchased 500 bullets at that time. Then I ended up reading on here about the better pricing on the coated bullets and such, so my next purchase will be that option. But I appreciate the heads up. However, because I purchased the Hornady press and die set, I'm getting another 700 bullets sent to me for free (well, I pay shipping, but that is a lot less than paying for them), so I will still be using the XTP HP bullets at a later date once I actually get them shipped to me (like 8-12 weeks or something). So, I figured it won't hurt to get this info because I'll still be getting them and using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmetalfab Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Well, thats a good reason to shoot them up, in the mean time check out the other coated bullet company and maybe pick up some sample packs and play with some load work ups to see what feels good and what the gun likes before you run out of the free bullets. Nice to have all the leg work done ahead of time vs going oh crap I have 50rds left and a shoot coming up, like me, shoot tomorrow night and no loads worked up, one win white box left and a bunch of factory tactical loads that I really don't want to use up.

Superpipe9 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Blue Bullets 180gr with 4.3gr of ramshot competition gets 172pf out of my CZ TSO and I get 2" off hand groups at 20yrds. Use code (moser) at checkout for a discount if you want to try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Try loading the 180 gr BBIs with 4.3 grains of N320, 1.180 oal and see what your power factor is. I normally save N320 for JHP loads for majors, but used some for our state match. 4.7 grains gave me 174 pf. 4.3 should be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Couldn't get my hands on any n320. So autocomp it is for now. Go 4.8i ng to test some loads as soon as the rain stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerdThinner Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) I have two questions. 1. Do most use 340 for 200s. I see most of you listing 320 which is great because I have it. Any reason why 320 over 340. 2. The amount of crimp would effect the overall FPS correct. Didnt mean to hyjack the thread sorry sorry if I did.

tcazes Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 So 310 is a very hot rifle powder. It's not recommended for handguns last I checked. I personally loved it for 9 minor and feel it's excellent if you are very careful. 320 is the universal best handgun powder I feel. It has a wide tuning window, clean, and no muzzle flash/smoke.

muncie21 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I've used N320 in the past, however I'm going to work up a load this weekend using Prima V to see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
