VV N320 and Penn 115 LSWC 9mil

[SW CQB 45]

115 RN Rainier 1.142 N320

anyone using N320 with 9mil lead?

I loaded 4.0 N320 using the 115 LSWC Penn seated at 1.090" and got decent accuracy out to 50 yds using a 6inch STI 1911.

no signs of leading....just wondering if I should try 4.1 to see if there are any accuracy gains?

I also like N320 due to it cleanliness. Clean up was easy as there was no unburnt powder on my slide and frame like I was getting with an under charge AA#2.

anyone dabble with N320 in "nina"?

thanks in advance

The Rainier 115 grain over 4.3 grains N320 has become my "go to" load for 9 mm. I recently loaded 500 of them and get phenomenal (for me) accuracy in my CZ-85 Combat. I've also used lots of this load in a Glock 26, HK P7, and S&W M&P. My load is 0.1 grain under the VV Manual maximum and I've never had any problems with it.

I've never been a big fan of lead bullets in 9 mm, although I use a lot of them in .45 ACP and many revolver cartridges, so I can't help you out there.

I use 320 for 9mm, minor loads, but, don't mess with lead.

The only way to see if it's going to shoot better, is to try different loads. Your load seems awful short to me.
