cbrussell Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Shooting Sig X5, 5 inch barrel in Carry Optics. Looking for a minor load with a 124 JHP Evergreen Bullet for a power factor of around 130 utilizing a Vihtavuori powder. Trying to decide between N320, N330 and N340. Any recommendations for an accurate load. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Almost everyone is using n320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtdShooter Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) I'm assuming you are meaning the Everglades 124 JHP?? N320 is the way to go as it's super clean and accurate. 3.9gr at 1.125 OAL to start should put the PF around what you are looking for....

4n2t0 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Don't forget N310. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
open17 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 N320 is by far the most common. N330 was specifically designed for 9mm. I've loaded it in the past with a 124 gr and it is a clean soft powder, but I can't say it's better than N320, and you use roughly 25% more.

Gviz Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Shooting sig xfive for carry optics as well using 147gr blue bullets with n320 3.3gr mixed brass, federal small pistol primer 1.115oal. 132PF at magnus cup 1 level 3 very accurate and consistent load I like it very much 124 EG with n320 4gr 133pf 1.115oal a little bit sharper feel than the 147 but still accurate Edited June 2, 2019 by Gviz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Desk Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I found N320 sharper in recoil than N330 with 115gr and no significant difference with 125gr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novagunner Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I really like N320. A buddy uses N310 for his which is really soft. I didn’t have my chrono with me so I couldn’t compare pf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixfella58 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I use N320 for both 147 and 124 coated bullets and it works well for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringram Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 N320 is ideal. Ive used N310 with a 124g and while its nice and clean. You have to work up slow. Pressure builds fast with N310. It will make Minor PF ok 130 etc, but if you go too much more you will flatten primers. Thats why most/all recommend N320 it fills the case well, a double charge will usually spill over making it obvious. Well with 124g anyway. Plus its more forgiving of a grain either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 N320 is pretty much the sweet spot for Minor 9mm. Troublefree to work up a load, pretty small amount of powder to get good pressures - unless you like the recoil impulse of N330 better. N340 is definitely too slow, and you need more than is good for you. N310 is a bit scary. No room for error at 9mm minor PF levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
