MTrout40 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Hey all! Can you hard core steel junkies give me an idea on the favorite loads for the super? I shoot a 115 MG over IMR 4756 for major PF in USPSA. Are heavier bullets preferred for SC? Hows about powder speed? Any thoughts are appreciated.. Thanks Trout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTrout40 Posted December 20, 2002 Author Share Posted December 20, 2002 OOpps... I respectfully accept my lashes with my head held high..and a popper strapped to my butt.. Thanks EW. Of course, some ideas using something other than VV would be cool to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Send a message to ong45. He's a Sooper steel shooter, but he might be a Viht. devotee. IIRC, Viht. 330 was the preferred powder for the Limited .38 Supers in the Limited super squad last year. Not sure what they do with comps.

3quartertime Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Hey MT, haven't seen ya around for a while. But then most GM's probably spend their time practicing or something instead of typing!!! (or maybe school work, ugh!!!) I'll send ya the 'Girls of IPSC' story this weekend. Have you been to Jeff Maas's site for loads? I just quickly checked it and he has some non-VV stuff. May not be what your looking for thou.

Austin Hemphill Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 If I remember right, Ong45 uses WST. Drop him a line to make sure. He is one heck of a steel shooter, and a nice guy to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTrout40 Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 Hey 3QT!! It's been a while! I haven't been on the net or the trigger much..pulling my hair out over other things I can't wait to hear the "girls of IPSC" story!! My parents just moved to CA in August, and I found out they live about an hour from the SC match! That ones on the list for '03 Thanks for the link..I'm new to this open stuff and that's the direction I needed to get started..lots of good data there! Austin..thanks for the tip..I'll fly him an IM and get his expertise on some data.. -Trout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ong45 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 I am currently using 4.1 of WST behind a montana 115 Jhp. Keep in mind though that this is in a radically lightened steel gun with a bushing barrel and an aluminum comp. Also the main reason i'm using WST is that i have a boat load of it. I have been told that the faster powders ( like 231,titegroup, n320 etc.) are more suited to SC loads . My load is going about 950 fps.and is very quiet . I have tried loads with n350 and the gun cycles better and is more reliable with the faster stuff. James Ong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 James, WST, 320 and TiteGroup? Do they still have enough gas to work the comp with those minor loads? It would make my day if I could get a Minor Open load to work with TG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ong45 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Flex, At 110-135 pf gas isn't much of an issue i think. I was after a quiet load if i could manage it. N350 is a lot boomier than the fast powders. James Ong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Dedmon Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 The load I used this year was 4.8 grs of N320 with a 115 gr. JHP Remington running at 1070 fps. I know that there are some slower (fps) loads out there but this one worked for me. I have a new steel gun in the works over at Tommy's now. It is going to be a lighter pistol than the one I used this year, but I am going to start with the same load in it for my testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 I used ~4.8gr Titegroup under a 115 for steel loads in my comped supers all last season (bumped to 5.0 and 135 pf for Paper & Iron). The dot bounces some but it's super soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterbenedetto Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 im using 9mm open gun, made by jojo vidanez in norco, 124g vv n350 5.3 and it shoots great for me. spring is 5lbs but cut 2 coils. i tried 5.0g and it also worked. will try a 4.7 see if this will cycle the gun. note? 5.0 shoots preety soft already.

shred Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Btw, this year I'm running 6.6gr 4756 and a 121 JHP. 135 PF. It's what I had handy and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 5.0 grains U clays, 115 fmj `132 pf... your milage will vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer x Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 3.1 gr. BA-10 under a 124 gr. LRN 3.4 gr. BA-10 under a 124 gr. JRN Gun: 4.5" slide, extremely lightened, 3 chamber comp, cut 7# spring. For steel challenge, you definitely should lean toward the faster powders. At $8/lb, it's hard to beat BA-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTrout40 Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 Thanks guys! I ended up using 5.6 of titegroup with a 115 JHP at the PSA shoot. I didn't change anything on the gun from my USPSA set up. I kept the 12# ISMI in and the gun worked great with this load. My brain on the other hand could have used a few more grains of powder. This load seemed to work the comp good enough for quick recovery and it was under their velocity limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdragon Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 4.9grs Win 231, 124gr fmj out of my standard IPSC pistol. I have used this for a lot of years at the AM Handgunner and last years SC. Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same load runs the supertanker open gun with a light Recoil Master in it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Bone Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I use 4.8 of Vit 320 which measures in at 130 PF. I've seen paintball guns with more recoil that this load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
