renaissance7697,

No it did not come from the "Vit' manual and unfortunately I don’t have the time to fulfill your request.

I chrono'd my latest V-V N340 (.45acp) load today. I was using Rem 185gr jhp bullets over 7.7gr of N340, using once fired Starline cases and Win large pistol primers. OAL was 1.215". I'm getting an average of 955 fps (Springfield 1911 w/ 5"bbl) with a extreme spread of about 40 fps. I'm loading on a Dillon 550B and didn't weigh each charge, just ran my nomal production procedure. I check one every 25 rounds or so once I'm at the charge weight I want. I do gauge every single round though. I shot around 150 rounds and the pistol seemed much less fouled than with AA#5. I'd like to say the accuracy was great, but since I'm the world's worst pistol shot, that kind of statement will have to come from someone else. At least the rounds feed completely reliably, even after 150. Stay safe.

I use a lot of Hodgdon but, the stuff is clean, meters great and it is not the much more for what you get.

I've been seeing a few shooters running a
185 gr JHP Golden Saber, Win Primer, with 9.0-9.2 N350
Chrono'ed at ave 1230 fps. Ran only through comped guns.

and 7.5 of N350 on a similar 230 JHP
