Fasthenk65 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Can anyone recommend on slower N340 powder stead off N320 for my Stock2? Shooting with 140gn Alsa bullets Got this recommendation but like to hear opinions and want to know the differences. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 What makes you desire a slower powder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least that's why I would go slower powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 That was my thinking too, curious if hotter ammo was his reason. WSF and others have worked well for me in the past, and if I were living where VV is more equal in cost (Europe) to other powders? I’d probably have used 340.

perttime Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 It is simply more slow burning. I think it is unnecessarily slow for just making Minor in 9mm. You can get more velocity with it, compared with N320. Give it a try. For making Minor with a 140gr bullet, I'd try 4 grains of N340, chrono it, and adjust depending on the results.

N320 is so popular because the gun shoots softer and flatter than N340. Slower powders = more felt recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hceuterpe Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 It'll probably be a little bit cleaner, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
