Really loving this powder in 38 Super, ready to try it in other calibers.
Going to start with 10.3gr. under a 180gr. XTP in .40Super (10mm to you sillymeter folks) but I also want to load up some .357 mags and .44 mags.
Interested in reading about other people's experience with it .:)
Also curious about using magnum primers.
 
I'm with you regarding the .38 Super. I bought a bunch of N105 during the LAST panic a few years ago because it was available and I had heard it was good for the Super. Yep. Great powder. Have not tried it in anything else yet.
 
It will work in the magnums, just won’t get top velocity, should work well in 10MM
Any particular reason why not in the Magnums, I'm going to assume it's just because H110, 296 and LilGun are better suited.
 
N105 has consistently been the most accurate powder I've ever used. I have loads in 41 mag, 44 mag and 45 Colt that group well under an inch at 15 yards, and those are 10 shot groups! All these loads have used either CCI-300 or WLP primers, doesn't seem to make any difference.
 
I use #9 a lot, mostly in 10mm but I have used it in 44 and 357 magnum.
My most accurate and fastest 10mm is a Hornady 180gr. XTP. It is a real tack driver and delivers 1250fps. 10ft. from the muzzle.:)
