Think 340 would be quieter with a can than 320? 330 isn't even on Hodgdon's list anymore, but they say it might still show up someday. Guess VV just sends over powder to them randomly.
Proper grammar is awesome.

N340 is what I use with Precision Delta 147gr FMJ and 147gr gold dot blems. While 3.8 gr's will cycle my M11, I have gone to 4.2gr's to run my Glock with TiRant 100%. Still quiet, and very clean burning.

I'm running 3.6gr behind the Hornady 147FMJ-BT in my M&P with a Tirant, getting around 935fps, and to my ear they sound the same as the Fiocchi 158s, but with less bullet flight noise. Super clean in the action and on the brass. I've given up taking the can apart though, pretty snug in there, and everything is covered in PB Blaster by the time I'm done.
