N110 load

[brownisdown]

Now that I have all the components to start shooting my new Omega 45 sml with a Woodman Arms barrel I am looking for a load from 50-to possibly 200 yds.I have n110 powder,hornaday 200 grain sst and xtp bullets with hlbs and fed 209a primers.I thought 30-33 grains would be a good place to start,but do not want to extend over 35 grains.

The VV110 can be safely used in smokeless powder builds. Start at 30 gr with that bullet n sabot, you can go up to 37 & be fine. I shoot up to 38 gr of it from my NEF .45using the 209 primers. I converted mine over to the DI from Hankin's, so now my top is 36 gr.

Keep us posted. N110 is my plan as well when I get mine.

You’ve probably seen this?

Please excuse my ignorance.
Are you guys saying you are going to use VV N110 smokeless powder in a TC Omega?
Is that not a blackpowder only rifle?
Did someone build a new barrel or firing system?
Please explain.

my new Omega 45 sml with a Woodman Arms barrel

Woodman offers a sml barrel

Did someone build a new barrel or firing system?

 

[Frank in Fairfield]

I am confused.
I see where they make a rifle: Patriot
The manual for that rifle says blackpowder only???

 

[Frank in Fairfield]

Is that Woodman Arms or Mark Woodman?

 

[ElDiablo]

Yes Mark Woodman - Woodman Arms makes smokeless capable Omega barrels. I have two. There are several hundred posts here on them if you do a search.

 

[ElDiablo]

Here’s a few more pressure traces for you Jim in case you haven’t seen them.

 

[brownisdown]

Thanks ELDiablo for the info.I probably won't see any need to go above 35grs.Maybe even 33 might be tops for me.I hope to be able to make it to the range this coming week.

You might want to use a Dry Wool Wad under the sabot. This is an sw recommendation with the quick pressure rise of N110 and Summer temperatures. He might chime in.

 

[smokepolehall]

You get your most velocity jump between 30 & 33 for the amount of gr. Shooting sabots in hot weather, space your shot time out 10-20min. between shots until you have a cooling rod. Yes a dry wool wad will help a good bit.

 

[brownisdown]

The thing about that is that I have had a bag of dry wool wads in my arsenal for several years.Now I see a need to use them.Thanks.

Waiting with anticipation for your range report. I just ordered some Barnes 195g and Hornady 200g today and will grab some N110 next week. I hadn‘t planned on shooting anything below 240g, but figured I might as well give it a shot.

Good advice..

I agree. Start at 30gr and work up. You shouldn't have a problem finding a load to match your needs.

If it was me, I would use the XTPs to get it close then fine tune/hunt with SSTs but it's not me.

 

[brownisdown]

I have hunted with the sst's for a few years and liked the way they performed.But when I found the xtp's at $5.00 a box I jumped on 2 boxes of them.As you said sight in with the xtp's and put the finishing touch with the sst's.

I got my 200g SST’s and 195g Barnes bullets today. Unfortunately, my N110 won’t be in until next week. I’m headed to the range on Sunday so looks like the lighter weight bullets will have to wait until next range trip.

I need to run by my LGS to check out the N110 supply maybe buy a couple more lbs.
