Looking to try a new powder

[Furrly]

Prima sv,... 4.1gr Oal of 1.185.. Costed bullets is what I am running

I use coated at 1.185 also.  I am going to try to find some to try.

thanks

if you are looking online Graf and Sons carries it...lots of it 

[broadus123]

I saw that. I just want to find a pound locally so I don't have to pay hazmat. Actually just enough to try it out.

Autocomp is much softer than n320 and honestly not all that dirty when run at major pf . I let 10 people at the range shoot mixed mags and every single one of them preferred the a.c.  I run a 200gr bbi over 4.6 Wac at 1.185 to make 171pf

Just tested some Clean Shot loads through my CZ75 CTS and was very happy with the results. I tested it with 180 grain Bayou Bullets, Blue Bullets and Xtreme ates bullets all with Good SD’s. Best SD was 5fps and worst was 10fps. Like the name implies it seems clean for the limited number of rounds I tested. Recoil feels good to me but more testing will tell more.  Loads on my 650 great and meters like water.  Here is some chrono data from one load.

More data on the clean shot

I've had good results with Ramshot Competition.  4 grains, OAL 1.18, mixed brass, WSPP, 180 grain coated runs right around 168 power factor. This is out of a 2011 with a 6 inch barrel. One downside is you'll want to take the time to work up a load since making Major will see you exceeding the recommended loadings. I've seen no indication of pressure being an issue, primers are all still rounded on the edges. 

 

Just work up to see what works in your gun of you go that route. 

 

I've found the recoil impulse to feel pretty good. It has a little snap to it but it's very quick to drive it back on target.

graff has free shipping and a $10 hazmat. I just ordered 10 bottles of prima sv from them for a total of $159.90

thanks for all the suggestions

I load a 180 grain blue bullet loaded to 1.185" with 4.2 grains of E3. Out of my Edge it made 174 power factor at Area 6.  Shoots clean & soft.

I just picked up a pound of E3 to test with 180 grain Blue Bullets in my Edge for USPSA major.

Hell of deal for 10 bottles shipped !!

Ramshot Competition here is my favorite. Tried e3, wst , 7625, n320, wsf and bullseye.

Wst would be my second, summertime I add a tenth.

[broadus123]

just chrony some 180gr blue bullets  4.2 gr  of prima sv gave me 169pf

For the longest time I used VVN320 & WST. Now Sport Pistol is my go too powder. Works great in my 40 & 9mm. It meters very consistent and is clean and accurate.
