It is a clean burning powder. vihtavuori powder (that I use anways) has always been a clean burn.

The loads I have used so far is as follows:
N105; Hardcast bullet/s:
206gr over 18gr: 1620fps
196gr over 17.5gr: 1534fps
206gr over 17.7gr: 1601fps
206 over 17.3gr: 1598fps
With the N105 it is filling case & is slower burning, hence dropping grs has made significant fps drops.
I am using CCI 300 primers (I will try Federal Match Magnums next)
Recoil is a very solid âpushâ, not a 357 flippy recoil.

Archie, it sounds like youâre seeing a noticeable decrease in velocity when youâve dropped grains of N105 in your 10mm Magnum loads. Thatâs not surprising, given that N105 is a slow-burning powder.
To give you a better sense of whatâs going on, think of it like setting up a die for reloading. When youâre loading a charge, you want to make sure the powder is the right amount for the job, and that itâs settled in properly.
If youâre using a slow-burning powder like N105, you may need to adjust your charge to compensate for the slower burn rate. Can you tell me more about the scale checks youâre doing to ensure the powder charge is accurate?

Can you tell me more about the scale checks youâre doing to ensure the powder charge is accurate? Are you using a specific procedure for âzeroing inâ the powder charge, or is it more of a " eyeball" estimate?
