vipertech Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Whats a good clean power/primer combination for a 180gr bullet. I thought I read in here about someone using rifle primers in pistol loads. Whats the benefit of that? Thanks to all that commented on the dies New Dillons on order. Going to add the comp seater at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viggen Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Solo 1000. Rifle Primers, not for Large Pistol - rifle is longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Another vote for Solo 1000. I have some Vhit sitting here too but haven't gotten around to trying it. I've read on here that Solo is as clean as Vhit and about 1/2 the price. Both are single base powders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkabit Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm looking for a cleaner powder myself. I use a lot of Unique, but it is dirty. I use Unique to reload 45colt, 45acp, 44spcl, 38spcl. I've got Unique that's been around for several years. Is there a cleaner powder that I could switch over too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Ozinga Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I use 4.7 gr VV310 under a 200gr. black bullet, makes major and is soft and real clean Try 6.2grs N340 under a 185 grs copper plated lead HP with a WLP primer. In my experience all VV powders burn cleanly. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is considerably cleaner than the Unique of yore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
