    .45 acp vihtavuori n320

    Does anyone here have any experience or suggestions for a sub sonic load using vihtavuori n320?

    I have a JRC .45 and without a chrony, I suspect its going a bit fast.

    Id be keen as to shoot a few through a chrony if there is anyone around north auckland who is keen?
    Cheers, dave.

    What weight bullet?

    Oh and 320 is a shit powder for pistol cartridges. I will buy all you have at $65 lb
    And dispose of it for you.

    210 gn cast, Iv started with a lyman load. but want to check the speed.

    I brought the 320 accidentally at an auction..... Was meant to bid on the next lot of black powder, but fucked up! was a good deal though.

    All good if ya want to sell it, hit me up

    I used to load 5.2 grn behind a 200 grn bullet to reach 860fps in my pistol.

    You can increase or decrease pressure/velocity a lot in a pistol cartridge just by seating.
    Longer slower, shorter faster for the same powder load.

    Barrel length of your rifle will speed that up a bit but should still be subsonic.
    I think book max for 320 and 230grn is 5.4

    No I don't sorry. I couldn't afford that much 320 at once
    Always used 500grm bottles.
    And I toss them when finished.

    I use Hogden titegroup now because Vit powder is too expensive for the amount of ammo I chew thru.

    It is going just as good as 320 so far.
    I use less per load to reach PF as well

    Filthy? That is certainly not N320.....
    AP30/50 certainly



    As a aside, I have a n320 4kg container, but it's not empty, not even looking like getting empty in the foreseeable future... ��

    Reloaders used to sell 320 years ago in milk bottles with an adhesive paper label that often fell off after a year or so. Yours could be some of that.

    Hey Dave,
    You can chrony it with my LabRadar, give me a call and we can set it up.
    Cheers, Shane
