N110

This is a stick powder. Temp Stable. One of the ONLY temp stable options in 300 BLK! Obviously, you all know I think this is the best Smokeless Powder company, and I think its not even close. However, I can tell, that when 300 Blk came out, this company did not make a powder series specialized just for it. Like they did with other major calibers. They probably did not do this because N110, N120 and N130 all work "ok" in 300 Blk depending on the application. Unlike other companies, they actually have 3 viable powders. That is a lot! But none of these powders are near optimal. As you will see from my explanations.

All shots with Adams Arms Piston kit, 9.5" barrel

@ 50 yards

This issue with N110, is that with a max compressed case, which is near around 18 grains, which is for sure, over max charge, it still cannot compete in velocity with other powders like Lil Gun or H110 or W296 in velocity. Not even close. Which is disappointing. If VV had a high energy powder and call it for example N510, we would have something, and I would probably say this is the best powder choice. But because H110/lil Gun and W296 blows it away, and there is no other option for light bullets (N105 is even LOWER velocity, so NO),,,this powder cannot be recommended.

Finding the loads...

This was shot BEFORE the above target. We can see its not bad. But in a 9.5" Barrel, its not top tier. NOW...if you are using a 16" barrel, or 14.5" barrel, then all of a sudden N110 becomes very good!! Because with 110 grain polymer tip, you need 1600+ FPS to expand when they hit. Thus, with 16" barrel, this would be viable for way way longer range and being lower velocity would be acceptable. But in a short barrel, only doing 2075 FPS or so, this would mean I would be limited to only several hundred yards range before possible no expansion. Not optimal for versatility.
