Vhitouri N320 9mm?

[JJE76]

Found a pretty good deal on this powder, supposed to be really good for 9mm. Will be loading 124 gr jhp, looks like 4.1-4.2 is a good load. Anyone use much of this powder?

Thanks

LEE Precision gets bagged on a lot. But their Modern Reloading Second Edition has over 38,000 loads in it. Not all thsat expensive and you will be reaching for it regularly, as it replaces most other manuals. Heck, it probably has their data in it! About $25.

Annodotally, the guy I bought my Dillon XL 650 from was/is a competition shooter and strongly recommended N320 for soft 9mm competition loads.

Personally, I use VV N330 with 124 gr FMJRN using 4.9 grs (4.8 for 115 gr FMJRN). It meters easily, shoots clean; is accurate and my pistols like it.

The only problem with VV seems to be higher price per pound and scarcity. But it is my powder of choice.

Only book i don't own. I enjoy the reading but there is so much conflicting info.

What Richard Lee did was just use all available data from bullet and powder makers.

Thanks for the info. Probably going to load some at 4 and 4.2 and see what works best.

I like it a lot in .40 cal. Very clean,and efficient with a 165gr. Looking for some more. Spendy powders but high quality. I have also used it in 38 and it works quite well in my experience.

Lee/V-V data show 4.1 to be a never exceed load at 1069 fps. However, N330, 340, 350 and 3N37 all provide higher velocities (1129-1199 fps), so they might offer more flexibility for reduced laods and thus, accuracy-directed loads. "IF" you happen to have some on the shelf, that is.
