Load 4.5 or 4.6 and a 200 H&G 68 bullet. I used it in testing guns for my book, and it was (using the Oregon Trails bullet) the most accurate load of the bunch.
Your velocity may vary, so check over a chrono to be sure, but I got 840 fps with 4.6 gr. 1.250" OAL.

Patrick good morning,
I have been looking for a way to contact you for weeks now and low and behold I see your a member of this forum. First off I love your book. In your book you reference the Caspian loads as I have a custum 45 commander built by George at EGW. You state (page 207) that the oregon trail 200 L-SWC 4.5 viht N-310 was quite a impressive load but in your reply on the forumn you say H&H 68 BULLET was the load im a little confused as to which bullet you actually got those great results. I am in the process of getting a Dillon 550 press and before hand am gathering info on 45 loads. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Mike

H&G 68 is the shape of the bullet...Oregon Trail Lasercast is one example of it...lots of producers manufacture that shape

310 is excellent (accuracy, consistency, metering in my 550) in my 5.5" P220 Sport and 4" STI Ranger II. I have worked extensively with Bullseye and Titegroup and far prefer the VVn310. I am using a fairly light load so it does burn a bit dirty. 4.3 gr, Fed150, Starline, Nos JHP .451 185gr, 1.210". Being a light load I have used it with 200 gr. (and its well within spec) in the past but I prefer the 185. Easier on the gun and more accurate for me.
Work with the 310, I am sure you'll be pleased. Whip up 50 rounds with a couple of different charges and give it a try. If you don't like it, I will gladly swap you for my Titegroup and Bullseye (you get two for one, fresh and properly stored).

Vv N310
I load my 200 gr LSWC (H&G 068) with 3.7 gr of VV N310 with excellent results on both my Les Baer PII and my Kimber Team Match II.
Of course I use a 13 lb recoil spring and a 18 lb hammer spring.
Very accurate load and no failures in my guns.

I'm using 4.6 of N310 and Win Large Pistol Primers behind a lasercast 200lswc. 1.250 for an OAL. Accurate, clean and extremely consitent. Avg 900fps from my five inch guns, 850 for the 4 inchers and the standard deviation for 40 rounds was a whopping 4.8fps! Chronoed at 5000ft elevation, 60f.
310 is faster. there is not necessarily an advantage. You will need to try in your guns and develope a good load for your application. What has been posted should be used as a reference for where to safely start. A Chrono is required for any serious load developement.
I'm always happy to read about 45 ACP and N310.
With my Colt 1991 5" and 200 LSWC bullets I like a lot 3.8 grains of N310 if you want a light load, and 4.5 grains for an heavy one. WW WLP primers, OAL 1.250".
I plan to test these loads in a 6" pressure gun, to measure their pressure.
When possible, I'll print here my results.

Good book! I've found as you have that 4.6 is extremely accurate with H&G 68s. However it is on the hot side for my application. An excellent target load for 185gr bullets is in the 3.9 to 4.2 range. I haven’t experimented much with the Vit powders, but it is on my list of things to do…Patrick Sweeney said:

Ok that it, now I have to buy some VV 310 & 320 and load test Rainer 200 plated SWC, I had excellent results recently using BE & TG with the said bullet. VV should be fun, I like to know if CCI is using VV powder since the case are so clean after fire.
