OptimiStick Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 new to limited major - assuming 180 coated and/or jacket, what is the preference for major PF out of the two VVs - n310 or n320? I have stockpiles of n320 for 9mm minor, and a good bit of n310 also for a .45 load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimiStick Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Yeah, but all the other threads devolve. Figured i'd get fresh input 4.9 grains of which? Which is the general preference for a soft major load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimiStick Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 I was hoping most prefer 320 since I have so much more of it vs 310. I'll work up both, but was curious of the two what most people were running in .40. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Bob Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Same for VVN320 at 4.9 grains, 1.185 oal with a 180 gr coated bullet. In my 6" 2011, and my .40 1911 with a very tight barrel, I can go down to 4.6 gr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrly Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 4.7-4.9 1.185 oal n320 4.2-4.4 1.185 oal of 310. Just depends on barrel but this range is where you will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 N320 for .40 Major and 9mm Minor. Adjust load to suit your gun. N310 is about right for .45 Major. N320 will work but is mostly a little too slow for .45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Depends on your barrel. My SVs were slow and took more like 5.4 grains at 1.20" with a jacketed 180 grain bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N320 all the way 5.2 g oal 1.2 with Montana gold jhp 4.7 g oal 1.2 with blue bullets both are soft and very accurate. This is all I use in 40.

Eman Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 N320 would be the majority over N310. Try Alliant Sport Pistol after you get low. I was a hardcore N320 fan boy but after trying a few lbs of Sport Pistol, I have switched everything 9mm and .40 over to it. Same product basically but a lot cheaper. May be a tad dirtier, but not until you shoot enough that you need to clean a tight 2011 anyways. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I also like Sport Pistol. Back to the original question. I would definitely use the N320 for major and minor, but I wouldn't be opposed to using N310 for minor if that's all I had. N310 is horribly temperature sensitive. So be careful if you shoot in Winter. Your Summer load may not even run below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZGeoege Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Out of my TSO’s I load 4.5gr of N320 at 1.165 with a 180gr coated bullet. 169-171 PF. +1 for Alliant Sport pistol. After I run out of N320, I’ll be sticking to SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudreaux78 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I run a SV 5.4 inch sight tracker with the AET hybrid barrel. I load 5.2 of 320 with a MG JHP 180 at 1.180 and get about 172 pf. Could back off the powder a little, but 320 doesn’t throw consistent enough out of a Dillon for me to trust it.

I noticed that too on my Dillon. .3gr difference sometimes. I don’t care for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimiStick Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Interesting. N320 has been dead on for my Dillon and Mark7 measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drop is accurate enough to produce Single digit standard deviations and extreme spreads of 40 or less. But sometimes it’s finicky with N320.

OptimiStick Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 I must be lucky. n320 is what I mostly load, and I've been within .1 gr every time I've tested (other than first few drops of a session). Same with SP. The only ones I've had trouble with in my Dillion are the really fine ones like AA 1680 for rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I use N320 in three different 1050s and all are dead on accurate once set. For my SV Limited gun, I need 5.4g to make major w/180g jacketed at 1.180". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cperazza Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 SVI Limited 5" barrel VV N320: 4.5-4.7 gr Jacketed Zero Bullets: 200 gr (Avg weight 199.86 gr) OAL: 1.190-1.195" Velocity: 854.29 PF: 170.739 Also very accurate with Cheely 2011 and Atlas Gunworks Nemesis.
