sargenv Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hmmm... H110... I have several pounds of Surplus WC820.. a supposed H110/296 copy.. I may just give it a whirl.. It's also cheap enough... like $8-$10 a pound.. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 125 JHP Zero on top of N-350, Armscor Case and WSR. My OAL is 1.277. My perception is N-350 doesn't meter as well as it did in the past, I like it but plan on going to 4756 or 7625 when I run out of N-350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squishy Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 11.5 grs N105 V V . 115 Zero jhp. 5 in. 7 port comp. Load works the comp very well. Clean. Loud. RO's hate me because it is so loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 7625 is a awesome cheap powder that does everything needed in open w/o the big flash-bang effect of N350 cheap lower charge weight consistent easy to find shoots great low flash and its clean btw ramshot silhouette isnt bad either...and perhaps cheaper than 7625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powder Finger Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I used H110 and H108 ($50/8 lbs from Powder Valley back then) in the 9x25. 17gr of H110 burned so clean the cases looked new on the inside, but there was no way I could cram enough into a Super case to make a 175 PF... Sounds like I should revisit for 165PF someday. I used the 108(also AA9S) in the early 90's with 130's $ CP9X23 & could push out to 180's don't even know if 108 is still around.With the 9X25 comp it was flat (to flat).

RacerX1166 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I just tried to N105, based upon Bob Londrigan's recommendations and it really makes a difference in my Pro Sx. Shoots major flat with a bit of push in the hand. I realize that it's probably not the cheapest or most available powder but Bob has told me it is much safer, from a pressure perspective, than 7625. I'm using 10.6g under a 125g Zero jhp. Haven't chrono'd it yet but will publish results when I have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) +1 N105 is a low-pressure powder and can make the OLD power factor under SAAMI specs. 7625 is a high-pressure powder and frequently shows pressure signs until the gun's chamber, FP, strut, primer selection etc are all dialed in. The analogy to Limited ammo would be: 7625 is like Clays behind a 200 JHP, N105 is like N330 behind a 180. Whether Limited or Open, the slower powders make more noise & have more rocket effect [push in your hand] but they are kinder to your gun & to your cases.

That seems a *little* harsh... 7625 is more like Titegroup behind a 200... It's not flat out asking for the trouble that Clays is in .40 w/ heavy bullets.... my experience, so far, anyway... In fact, in my gun, I see pressure signs out of 3N37 before I do out of 7625... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamBam Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I think in Open you get more performance through the comp with slower burning powders. 7625 shoots too sharp/flippy for me. The Vhita-Vouri (sp?) powders meter great and are clean. As such, I lean towards 3n37 and 3n38. Like all good things it comes at a premium price. In the old days, Schuemann spec'ed W571 as best for his barrel's performance, but has since been discontinued. He's a super smart guy that knows more about pressures and propulsion than I ever will. That said, I think HS-7 falls right next to W571 on most charts, and I plan to play with that powder this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.40AET Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 That said, I think HS-7 falls right next to W571 on most charts, and I plan to play with that powder this year. Now don't go fallin' in love with it and tellin me that you just found the greatest powder on earth.....It was discontinued last year. The rep at Hogdon suggested using Longshot if your happy with HS-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
