N110

[STCM(SW)]

Can't seem to find any loads using this powder with .357 Hornady 158 gr XTP bullets.
Have a jug and not used it for anything so far.
Wasted my money on this powder?

Here is a thought. You may have to interpolate a bit.

Assuming you are loading .357 Mag cases, Hornady 9th edition shows VIHT N-110 with 158 gr. XTP bullets start at 11.4 gr. and 13.1 gr. MAX. This is with a Win. small pistol magnum primer. Hornady likes this powder for .357 mag loads saying it provides near top velocities with less flash and blast than other slow burning magnum powders.

Speer #14 shows start at 13.5 gr. and 15.0 gr. MAX using their 158 gr. jacketed bullets and a CCI # 500 std. small pistol primer. Speer says N110 is excellent for .357 Mag with standard CCI primers.

Lyman 49th edition shows a start at 11.5 gr. and 14.0 gr. MAX with a Hornady # 35750 (158 gr. XTP HP) and a CCI # 550 magnum primer.

Be aware that this is a short cut extruded (stick) powder and may not meter well through all powder measures. I have loaded a very few rounds with N110 but hand weighed each charge.

The usual precautions apply- verify these loads elsewhere, start low and work up, etc. Please look into investing in a loading manual or three.

Amazing what can be found in reloading manuals!

N110 is my favorite for high end .357 158 loads, have had no trouble metering with the '55, haven't tried it on the 550 yet, but I don't anticipate any problems.

As a rule, I don't load WOT loads on the 550, I generally set up a couple tenths under max, depending on what I'm loading, just because...

Am using N110 with Hdy 158 xtp for accuracy load in 357 mag 6 inchers. Took Speer's advice and used standard primers.
