Pass on N330. I hear all kinds of great stuff about N320 and N340 (not to mention 3N37), so those may be great. But I've found N330 to be quite dirty. Now, normally I don't much care about that, as I've found a really really dirty gun takes the same amount of work to clean as just a dirty gun. But N330 leaves *ME* dirty. Shooting 9mm made with N330 leaves my forearms lightly covered in a black soot, that resembles tiny granules of unburned powder. It does this in 4 different 9mm pistols (Baby Eagle, CZ-75B, Steyr M9, Beretta 92FS), no matter how hot I load it (up to listed max, anyway), no matter what bullet weight I use (115, 124, 147).

It gives good accuracy, but with the price being what it is, and the soot on my arms, I'll just use something else. N330 also has some annoying gaps in the data. Like, there'll be data for N320 and N340, but no N330. I'll admit to having interpolated some data for it with good results, but I shouldn't have to do that.
