Azone41 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I have used both n350 and 7625 this year and have decided to stick with 7625 (also much cheaper). It shoots softer then the N350 and it shoots a one hole group at 25 yards in my gun (Shu AET barrel). I am ordering 16 pounds on thursday for the comming year. The 7.3 grn load loaded to 1.240 ( 169 PF) works best in my gun. Remember to always start low and work up to your load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 im running 7.5 grains and a 124 precision delta .356 fmj. fed 200 primers and starline supercomp brass. 1.255 oal. this is out of a 4 port hybrid with 8 port comp. shoots soft, but not all that flat. its 174.5 power factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcha Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Thanks for the feed back and links. My search did not come up with that :-( I had to go to 7.8 to get 1360 average for a 170. It does shoot real nice and the dot tracks very well. Does anyone notice inconsistent metering with this powder? I have a 650 and the load meters +/- 1 grain or so every other round. I used to use 3n37 and never had any metering problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Does anyone notice inconsistent metering with this powder? I have a 650 and the load meters +/- 1 grain or so every other round.I used to use 3n37 and never had any metering problems. I had some metering issues with 4756. Turns out that it was probably due to static. I dumped 40 lbs of it into a big bucket and mixed it all up to avoid possible inconsistencies from lot to lot that I read about here. I probably created static when I was mixing it up. A few weeks later and I have no issues. You might try checking the powder measure to make sure it's making it's full travel from open to closed. Also, make sure that there is no foreign object in the tube itself. After that, try rubbing everything with a dryer sheet just in case you got some static build up.

Austin Hemphill Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Harmon, How are those precision deltas working out in your hybrid? I tried another brand, and got some metal spitting out of the ports. I have heard that the exposed base could expand and catch a port causing this. Any thing like this showing up? Thanks, Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 i havent noticed any metal coming out of the ports, unlike winchester hollow based 115s...every other round a bullet frag was coming out and the accuracy SUCKED. also there is WAY less lead buildup in the comp than the winchester 115s...could it be the amount of heat/powder required to make major with 115s was just too much for that bullet, or the deltas could be harder lead. sad thing is i think my barrel is TOAST...and ill probably replace it with 1-16 twist unported schuemann barrel and a dawson number 3 comp. since im rebarreling, i think the new tube will be a 9X19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Hemphill Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Thanks Harmon, I think I'll give them a try then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use 3n37 and never had any metering problems. I use 7.8 gr 7625 behind a 125 Zero JHP. Also noted the powder metering inconsistently I found two things that contributed to this, too much slop between the powder bar and the spacer, and static. I shimmed the spacer to take out the excess space, and I wipe down the powder measure with an anti-static dryer sheet before reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 FWIW 7.8 of 7625 and a 125 Hornady HAP goes 168 PF in one of my nearly identical shorty Supers and 173 PF in the other. I've not noticed lot of metering problems, and accuracy is certainly there, putting 5 rounds under one paster yesterday at 20 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 i have zero metering problems with 7625. loading 9X19 major wih 7625, the case is full of powder, you notice everything. BTW, try the deltas, if you shoot limited, buy 1000 40s and 1000 9mms to try...i havent touched a 40 montana gold since i found these precision deltas.. also if you see A4 director kenneth hicks or his son ask them about them...they are both using the delta bullets, armscor brass and IMR4756.. when the brass i bought from Blackdragon gets here, ill be doing nearly the same. at the end of january my new open pistol will be ready..and ill still shoot the delta bullets.

Alvinator Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 7.2 grains of 7625, 125 zero JHP, WSR primer, OAL 1.167, coming out of a dawson ministroker 4 3/4" barrel dawson comp and 2 port holes. if you load to 1.23 oal it may take a little more powder, but be careful as at 1.23 the bullet is closer to the rifleing and could cause pressure spikes. 9mm chambers were originally designed for a max OAL of 1.169 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipscbob Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I like 7625 as well with 115gr MG JHPs but the lot to lot variability is a killer. A little extrapolation with the few loads listed in this one thread is showing more delta than with other powders I've loaded with recently.

FWIW, I've not seen much, if any, lot-to-lot variation in recent vintage 7625 ever since I started getting the 8lb plastic jugs. The major delta for me is which barrel the loads are fired in..7.8gr & a 125 in one gun goes 168PF, the other 173PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricciardelli Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 SR-7625 From 3.9 grains to 5.4 grains CCI-500 Primer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 SR-7625 From 3.9 grains to 5.4 grains CCI-500 Primer that wont even come close to making major...less than 6 grains wont even cycle my gun!! for plain 38 super, that might be fine, but in a comp gun...that isnt gonna work.
