19852 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I am looking load information on Ramshot Competition. I have read that it is similar to VVN320. I used the search feature and not found what I was looking for. I have some 9mm Zero 125gr. JHP's and I would like to use the Competition. Any idea where I could start? I have a chrono. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 open or production loads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19852 Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Oops, right, that would production loads. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'd think Competition would be way too fast for open major loads. It's pretty close to VV N320 on the burn rate charts. Let us know what you come up with. I'm interested in it also but can't get it locally. Another powder to consider is Solo 1000 if you can get easier than the Competition. I like it alot.

yoshidaex Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 a search in the 9mm load section brought up very little info. the 40/10 section had quite a few postings but that ain't gonna help you. sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) I used 4.0 grains with a 125 zero JHP. I loaded a little longer than factory and they were very mild loads. Start lower and work it up. Edited September 20, 2007 by Fireant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19852 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well, I emailed Ramshot and I got a reply from their ballistics guy. He said: I strongly recommend that you stick with Silhouette. It’s our best option for SA HG calibers However, I suggest the following for Competition. Caliber: 9mmx19P Barrel length: 4” Powder: Ramshot – Competition. Bullet weight: 124 -125 grains. Start load: 2.8 grains (800 – 900 Ft/p/sec) Maximum load: 3.3grains (900 – 1000 Ft/p/sec). I will be trying it soon, I'll let you all know how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisStock Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm a huge fan of Ramshot's Zip when I can locate it. Sitting on my last 3# now. I have actually called and spoke to their engineers directly. They were superbly helpful and friendly both times that I called. Keep us posted.

19852 Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Lighteye, I use Zip for .45ACP. I have not tried it for 9mm,hmm. I live in Sarasota. Do you shoot in Ruskin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisStock Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Lighteye, I use Zip for .45ACP. I have not tried it for 9mm,hmm. I live in Sarasota. Do you shoot in Ruskin? Every 1st Sunday, come hell or high temps, and sometimes the 3rd Sunday when the wife allows. I've got some SWEET 9MM & .40 minor loads, and you can send a few downrange after the match if you'd like. Let me know via PM if you'll be there this Sunday.

SLM Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Any updates with Competition? I'm thinking about placing a monster powder order for some Ramshot and Accurate powders and wondered how the loads are working out. I have a friend who likes her N320 loads but the price of the powder is murder locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
