.40sw 155gr LSWC w/ HS-6 data???

[Bullseye25]

I can't find any data for this combo. Would also be interested in same bullet with HP-38/231. I checked my Lyman book, Hornady book, hand loads.com, and load data.com and still no luck.

Does anyone have recipes for this load?

Lyman #49 - Page 364.

The listed 150 grain #401654 bullet will be real close to a 155 when the bullet lube is added to it.

Lyman lists all cast bullet weights "as cast" before lube & sizing.

rcmodel said the same thing when I asked about that a few months ago. I used the data listed and it worked well. I got the best results from 7.8-7.9gr. I really like that combination, didn't have any of the snap the 40 has a reputation for. Feels like I'm shooting a stout 9mm. I haven't tried it with 231 yet, but will do so next time I start loading. I've shot a lot of 180gr with 231 and that works well too.

I don't have the Lyman data here. But I've enjoyed loading a lot of these bullets when using 5.4 grains of HP-38/231. These work really well in each of my .40 guns.

Clear sights and straight shootin' to ya!
