350 Legend and n110

[joshdidthis]

Anybody tried loading up the 350 with vihtivori n110? Burn chart has it 1 spot faster than Lil gun. Been having ok accuracy with Lil gun and 165 ftx. 1.5-2 in groups. Curious if anyone's had experience with it. Grt shows it has potential.

I have not tried N110. I've never seen it locally. I have tried every other powder I could get my hands on. My buddy and I built matching 350 legends and tested extensively. I highly recommend trying 300MP. I literally cant find a bad load with this powder. Temp stable, good velocity, and super accurate. I believe were .4-.6 over max with no pressure signs in sight. We're both shooting 165 ftx in our rifles, I'm loading 125 makers in my dad's ruger American, and my buddy's loading reduced loads in a gas gun for his kids.

Thanks for the reply, I'll definitely check out the 300mp. OK just been a little disappointed with the consistency with lil gun. 200 fps spreads at times. Looks like you're getting great velocity too. Is that out of the 16.5 barrel?

Lil gun was very disappointing for me also. Pressure spikes and bad SDs. The velocity and SDs pictured are from my 16.5 custom. My dad's ruger also 16.5 with 125 makers was at just shy of 2800 fps with no pressure and great accuracy. Crimp is also a huge factor in SDs and velocity. I don't have my notes in front of me but I can send them to you if you'd like.

Only thing I've had luck with Lil gun on is 300blk subs.

I’d be interested in your load data for the 350 with the maker 125’s. 2800 is pretty tempting from a short barrel!

I've had several requests. I'm not in front of my notes at the moment. Ill post them when available.

Awesome, I really appreciate it!
Have you had a chance to use the 125’s on deer?
You’re 350 is sweet!

My dad shot 2 does with the makers 125s last year and my buddy's kids have taken probably half dozen. Both my dad's were within 80 yards complete pass through bang flops. He was actually quite shocked. We've recovered several bullets that all opened nicely even with reduced loads for the old man as well as the kids.

That’s fantastic, thank you for the info!

350 legend new starline brass, chambered, debured, uniform pockets. These are over max. Load with caution and start low! I've had no signs of pressure and could possibly go higher.

Again theses loads are hot but show no signs of pressure in these two guns. My buddy runs Rem 7 1/2 with no change of accuracy or velocity variation. Lee dies to include the factory collet Crimp die were used.
