Tree Rat,

The 45 ACP velocities I showed above was in a Mk23 barrel which gave higher than predicted velocities because of the Mk23’s length and polygonal rifling.

I have also extensively tested VV-N340 powder in 9x19 with 115 gr Hornady JHP/XTP bullets in my Glock, HK and S&W handguns. I found the published VV data to be very consistent with real world pistols. (Unlike other loading manuals where I could not
duplicate the velocity.)

Once again, I find the VV-N340 powder about equal in price to other powders. VV-N340 costs more per pound but you use less per round to get better results.

Regards,
George

P.S. My thanks to ArmySon for turning me on to VV powder. It is so advanced I do not understand why there are not headlines in the reloading manuals and magazines!
