i didn't know that was the max load for 180 gr. gun is a glock 22 factory barrel and storm lake 6" barrel. thanks for the pointers. i was actually looking for unique or power pistol but this bullseye was all i could find.
Statements like that tell me you did not read the first page of the online manual which I copied and posted below. Now please do not take thus wrong, we are all trying to help here. Manuals are more than just load data recipes.
Just because a powder was tested and there is data does not mean it is the best one for the job, The 40 SW is a high pressure round compared to say a 45 ACP. A fast powder can and will build up pressure very quickly and to much is a bad thing.
The horror stories of Glock Kabooms usually involve fast powders like Tite Group, the 40 SW and 180 gr bullets (yes, I know it can happen anytime any gun so no piling on here, just a a example for the OP)
Yes BE can be used but at the correct weight, so
weigh all your charges until you are sure if what you are doing, Use a loading try, look in each case before seating a bullet.
