gunner40sw Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) I have been using a 230 grain jacketed round nose with 4.9 grains of VV N320. I am starting to wonder if I would be better off switching to N310. Would I have a softer shooting load? Or can I go down on the amount of the powder and sticking with the 320. I am at a high power factor right now right around 179 Edited April 11, 2009 by gunner40sw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Why the high pf, just out of curiosity? At first blush, it sounds to me like the simplest, fastest, cheapest way to make a great difference in your load's recoil impulse would be to stick with N320 and just drop your powder charge down to a 170ish pf. (I know, too easy, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner40sw Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 yea I can do that or I was wondering if the 310 is softer shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 It probably will be, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Typically the faster burn rate the powder the softer the felt recoil impulse. Try Clays and save money while getting a great loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hello: Try Clays with 4.2 grains. It shoots very soft and makes major in my Spartan. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmitchl Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've loaded .45 with N310 and with Clays. Clays runs as clean as N310 and I could not tell the difference in felt recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get'em Duck Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Have you thought of dropping bullet weight? Just a thought but a 200 grn bullet would recoil less then a 230 I shoot 200grn LSWC with 5.1 grn of Tite Group. I've never chronyed it but guess I should.

Darrell Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 4.7 gr of T.G. 200 gr lswc @ 1.250 WW cases and primers shot 1" 25 yd group in my Wilson 5" Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spray_N_Prey Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 how would using a lighter bullet (200 gr) be better than a heavier bullet (230 gr)? I use Tightgroup with my 230 LRN and load 4.2 for a slight over powerfactor of around 167-168. I would recommend loading to 4.3 just in case.

twodownzero Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hello: Try Clays with 4.2 grains. It shoots very soft and makes major in my Spartan. Thanks, Eric Max with 230 grain bullet is 4 grains. I would back your load down some...there is no need for all that powder. Mine makes major at 3.6. how would using a lighter bullet (200 gr) be better than a heavier bullet (230 gr)? I use Tightgroup with my 230 LRN and load 4.2 for a slight over powerfactor of around 167-168. I would recommend loading to 4.3 just in case. Lighter bullet will recoil more for a given power factor.

Your barrel is MUCH faster than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adweisbe Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 4.2 grains of Clays and a Precision 230 grain RNFP OAL 1.20 is a great combination for me. I have to load short to prevent the bullets from getting jammed into the rifling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
