proff Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Montana Gold 230 gr. HP, OAL 1.200, 4.5 gr of V340, 745 f.p.s. You have to seat the MGs short. They are full diameter out further than most round nose bullets and will get caught up in the rifling and not allow the round to seat fully in the chamber. The slower powder is supposed to lessen recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revopop Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Zero - 200 gr LSWCVN320 - 5.0 gr WLP Primers Ditto. I tried this out because it was recommended for my gun by Wilson. If VV was more readily available around here, I'd load nothing else. Cleanest lead load I've used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNet Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 230 gr Hornady/4.7 n320/167pf /5 in. Bar-sto bbl That mix with 230gr Rainiers yields 168pf in my Kimber, but with the spread I kept dropping a few below 165pf and decided to go with 4.8gr to provide a little cushion. What is the extreme spread you see with that load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 3.9 gr. VV N-310 - 185 gr. Star LSWCHP - WLP = ca. 790 fps for bullseye level accuracy out to 50 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schroed Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) VV N320 5.2 grains OAL 1.235 Primer WLP Crimp 1.235 Using just about any 230 RN (Berry, Zero, and Rainer) Velocity 767 fps 5 inch barrels Schuemann, Kart, STI pretty all have same velocity The only issue with case fill of 5.2 grains can get a large shot to shot variation. If you tip the muzzle verictal, while chrono, variation will go away--this can create a problem at large matches. This caused a headache at one match where one of the three at a chrono went thru at 700 fps. Edited December 21, 2008 by schroed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JQ- Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Why the short OAL of 1.235? The WWB ammo I have been using was 1.266 and the SDB was also set at that...so I left it where it was. They drop into my barrel with no probs. I decided on this, my first batch to go 4.9 gr of 320 with 230 RN FMJ Is my length an issue? Edited December 21, 2008 by hk_mtbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Law Man Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) 4.3 grains of VV N310, .45 ACP 200 gr LSWC Laser Cast bullet. Very accurate load. Easily makes major PF, low recoil and clean. Edited December 21, 2008 by Sac Law Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use to run 1.255 in my all my guns untill I got double stack 45acp for L10, had slight feeding issues found if I went shorter problem went away. Tested it my single stacks had no issues with the shorter length, so same load for all guns. What is your issue?

-JQ- Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 no issue - just building my first loads ever. I was just curious as I'm new to reloading. Being new I want to be sure of everything and it just sounded like a big difference from mine...I don't know what constitutes a big difference yet. Like I mentioned, I'm just looking for a good load for my 1911 for SS. I don't have a chrono but may take my first 100 to the local indoor range to see how they feel. My hope is to use my free time this week to crank out some ammo for the first few months of 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schroed Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I started with 45acp as my first reloading cartridge, lots of proven load recipes. First used N340 because it made a double charge harder, but moved on to a faster powder. Start with small batches and watch for the usual signs.

My hope is to use my free time this week to crank out some ammo for the first few months of 09 Bullet design makes a difference in OAL, a load that was fine in a Schuemann barrel hit the rifling in a Para and Springfield. Suggest taking the barrel out of your gun and using it to see if the drop in to the barrel hood and the fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
