Hey guys, I got about 700 pieces of once fired brass from a buddy of mine... so I figured I'd buy a set of dies and start loading for the 40.
I've got a bunch of Berry's 155gr Flat point bullets on hand right now.
Wondering what the best powder is for the 40... here's what I have on hand right now that should be in the right speed range...
Alliant:
Hodgdon:
Accurate:
I've been loading up a few test rounds with Titegroup and running them over the chrony... but I think I'm a bit disappointed with the Titegroup... SD's >20... getting velocities of about 182~183 fps per grain out of my Ruger SR40C, and the accuracy... not the greatest... but that could be the bullets also.
Just wondering if I have anything better in the powder cabinet...
