Waylonspapa Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Unless I've overlooked it, it looks like all of the loads referenced here apply to the higher-end pistols. I used similar loads for my STI but have switched to a G35 for my backup for IDPA matches. That said, has anyone used either the N320 or N310 for .40? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks My G-35 load is 4.7 N320 under a 180 Precision Delta, loaded to 1.125, BUT that is USPSA Major Power factor, running about 940 fps. For IDPA, you don't need NEARLY that much for SSP or ESP Division. I don't think I'd try 310 in a 40, except for light bullet powder puff loads. It's a spooky-fast powder. Vihta Vourhi actually wants us to use slower powders like N340, N350, or 3N37 in just about all of their load data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Agreed ^. N320 works fine for making IPSC/USPSA Major. Why not for a little lower PF too. Also. I don't think N310 is very good for .40. I have used it for .45 ACP, and will again. But that is a whole different ball game. Glocks are pretty strong. People have fired pretty sturdy loads out of Glocks with no apparent issues.

MikeyScuba Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 4.3gr of N310 behind a 180 coated bullet was awesome. I didn’t shoot it for very long as I switched to revo soon after. Years later when I sold my unused boxes of the 180’s I gave the guy a few loaded rounds I hadn’t shot and he called me asking what I was using as it was super soft.

MoNsTeR Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 From memory, 4.5gr N320 with a coated 180 (BBI), or 5.0gr with jacketed (MG), both loaded long. I did once upon a time load major 40 with N310. Experienced a few pierced primers and gave up on it. Pretty sure I was having setback problems... I might be willing to try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmo2011 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 N310 under a 180 precision delta was always my limited go to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
