DougCarden Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 VV 310 for me, meters great, low charge weight, and it is the most accurate of the bunch in my guns....... I know....hard to find, too pricy, etc......When I see it I buy some, and instead of buying a bunch of crap all the time I save my money for the important stuff...to me anyway......

ffl Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Doug, I've used N310 and N320. I find that with my bullet 125gr. that the n320 is Snappy. I that your experience? That load was about 1050 FPS. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm pretty much standardizing all my handgun loads on Clays and Titegroup. Keeps it simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have found Titegroup to be one of the most useful powders for me. I mainly load .45 Schofield, .45 Colt, .454 Casull, and .460 S&W though. The other powders that I use are H110 and Trail Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 well, it sounded good..... David, I think that the 310 or Clays would be much better with the 125s for ICORE type stuff.....I havent tried it as I use CLAYS for the lighter bullet stuff and 310 for the 147s-150s....

Spray_N_Prey Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well right now i load for 9,40, and 45 (for autos) and use tightgroup throughout. I wonder if I should just stick to what i have. less complicated. DVC, Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses Titegroup and it shoots nice out of his 327. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrjet Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Doesn't tightgroup have a very high nitro content-- when I tried some in my auto's the barrel would get very hot compared to N320 or solo 1000 which is single base and right at the same burn rate. Tightgroup felt the most harsh but some like it, cheap, easy to find. Agree with Doug on N310 just gotta watch what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my experiance with Titegroup also.It seemed to get stuff really hot and didn't seem very lead friendly either.I had good luck with it in 9mm for my autos,but didn' much care for it in 38 Special. I figured it'd get my cylinder to hot to handle on a longer COF.I'll maybe try some again after I burn down my WST supply.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COF Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Titegroup definitely heats up the gun, but I like the consistency I get from it and it is CHEAP compared to other powders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
