Vitavori N310 question

I've never used this powder due to its expense, but I can get some pretty cheap and was wondering if its any better than bullseye, wst, titegroup, etc. A big concern is temperature stability as i shoot up north, and it will go from -20 in the car in winter to 90 above in summer

I have only used VV N310, and I've been told that it burns cleaner than the other powders.

That's all I burn in my bullseye loads, 185gr. Zero JHP and SWCHP.  Meters great, clean... using Winchester LPP will help with consistency over that temperature range.  BTW, -20F?  Can you feel the trigger in those temps?  LOL.
Initially it's expensive but only pennies for each round.

If you are fine with BullsEye, you should be fine with N310, - it is less temperature sensitive then BE.  Overall I'm using this powder more and more with 185gr JHP by Nosler, Remington Golden Sabre, Zero, and 160gr coated SWC by Brazos.

I'm a fan of N310.  My go to powder for jacketed bullets.  If you can get a good deal, go for it.  At -20 degrees, any powder will suffer a performance loss.  

The old 45 ACP Marine Corps load of 4.1-4.3 gr N310 and a 185 JHP (Nosler, Zero, Magnus) is tough to beat.  I went distinguished with that load.

I could be wrong, but I thought N310 was more temperature sensitive than Bullseye. I've seen it first hand.

VV310 can be a little sensitive, in particular with low charge weights and with some primers.  WW Large Pistol Primers (which are for standard and mag loads) cured my low temperature issues.  Learned that from experience.

All I use for my .45 loads. Meters better than any powder I have ever tried. May be a little more expensive but you use less powder per round than other powders and that takes the price per round down quite a bit. I switched a few years ago and have no intentions of switching again.

I started with BE and jacketed ammo and then tried 310 for my wad loads.  World of difference in how clean it burns.  When I get aroud to loading more jacketed ammo, I'll be using 310 instead of BE.

I might have also been motivated to try it since Cecil's pet load uses it!

IIRC, clean and very consistent.

I,ve tested all the powders listed.N310 and WST are neck and neck.I shoot n310 at 50 and WST at 25.
