mrmetalweld57 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I've tried both, silhouette for me. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoMiE Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Try WSF, cleaner than Silhouette, for me anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03k64 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I haven't used True Blue, but Silhouette works very well for me. Burns clean and 7.5gr under a 125gr JHP leaves enough room in the case to not have any spillage when loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I haven't used True Blue, but Silhouette works very well for me. Burns clean and 7.5gr under a 125gr JHP leaves enough room in the case to not have any spillage when loading. Used both and Silhouette is softer and cleaner. No problem with spillage for 121 or 125 gr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoShot Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I am loading 7.8 gr. of Silhouette with a 125 Montana Gold CMJ. No problems with case capacity or spillage on the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Silhouette. Hands down. It is what I went to when I ran out of SP2. Peter Adams FY-39604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Tried both, Silhouette wins hands down for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimInFL Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Silhouette for me, but I have two experienced friends that like True Blue. JimInFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Silhouette easily goes Major in either my KKM barreled gun or my Schuemann barreled gun with 8.4 under 115's. As always, your mileage may vary, start low and work up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred fague Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I load 9major and have been using VV 3n37 and changed to Silhouette; Cost is less for Silhouette. VV loads show more primer flatness than S. VV almost fills the case and causes spillage. S fills the case about 3/4. S does not seem to change with temp change. S seems to me, to be softer shooting.

yoshidaex Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've heard silhouette is reverse temp sensitive. Anyone else have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've heard silhouette is reverse temp sensitive. Anyone else have this issue? I have chrono'd my loads at 40 degrees and shot major matches in the summer. PF may go down 2 pts, but that may be the chronos. I don't notice any problem with temp.

matt2ace Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Silhouette cannot be beat (IMHO ) for 9 major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimInFL Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've heard silhouette is reverse temp sensitive. Anyone else have this issue? Funny you should mention that. I was loading minor for my son (N320), and major for me (Silhouette) all at the same time. Even chrono'd them the same time. His minor was 131PF, mine 172 PF. 86 degrees that day here in FL. Went to Ga State (40 degree morning) - he chrono'd 131. Mine was 176 ! JimInFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr2e Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've heard silhouette is reverse temp sensitive. Anyone else have this issue? at area 1 (100 degrees plus! ) a fellow 9 major shooter and i found our fps slowed from what we had chron'ed at home. we both went from 172+pf to ~168pf in the heat. if it wasn't for the fact that we both had very similar drops i would have just chalked it up to my sloppy reloading... i still will use silhouette as it works well for me.

Good - so that means you saw the same as I did, but in the reverse form, and it wasn't my loading either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
