I have been using Unique for a while and tried some N320 just for the heck of it. Im pretty impressed. It meters way better than Unique, is easier to handle and shoots pretty clean. The only downside is its $23 per pound, much more expensive than $18 per pound for Unique.

Anyone know if it gets cheaper in bulk. Also I was using Unique for its bulkyness. N320 fills up a 9mm case pretty good. I tried to double charge one just to see and it spilled over. That probably wouldnt happen in a .45 case.

Someone was telling me Titegroup is just as good and way cheaper. Any truth to that? BTW I shoot steel, IDPA and target in ACP and 9mm.

N320 is a very good powder. It is more expensive, but bought in bulk its not that bad. N330 and N340 work extremely well in the 9MM as well and can give more velocity if you want it.

My favorites for 9MM are N330, WSF, & AA #5

N320 is outstanding in .45 ACP.

Ditto N320 in the 45 acp. Great stuff!

320's my powder of choice for .38 Special. For easily making power factor with 158gr plated round-noses, the book max of 4.8gr gives a solid 850-860fps in my four-inch Colts, way over the 791fps floor.
Plus you won't be having to brush your chambers out between stages. Cleanliness is next to... well, being good.
350 looks like the ticket for major power, so far, also, especially if you subscribe to the current thinking of heavy bullets and fast powder for minimum recoil, and I do.

N320 does do very well in .38, but I get better numbers with the same accuracy with AA #2, and it's cheaper. I am using AA #2 to download .357 brass to .38/.38+P levels as well. It's as good as anything I have tried yet for that. N340 does great for midrange .357 loads.

excellent powder, and it meters very well.

This powder works very well in 40.
