I use longshot powder with an aftermarket barrel and am getting 1125 ft/sec., sometimes a touch more.Yes, there is a tad more muzzle toss, and I can only maintain the accuracy in the aftermarket barrel, but the loading isn't wild or uncontrollable.
10mm is a good cartridge, but the original loadings called for a 180 grain bullet at 1200 ft/sec and a 170 grainer at 1300 ft/sec. This 165 gr. loading doesn't quite reach those, but it does come close - dang close. I'm sure I could push the Longshot envelope a bit more, but I don't see the need to do that. The loadng and the gun (G22) work fine together were they are.
Everytime I hear somebody poo-poo the 40 s&w with those worn out mantras, "40 short and weak" or "9mm is just as good". Well,...what can I say (?)...I know better.
40 haters, go ahead. Unload.
