I am going to start reloading for .40 soon and will start low, but wanted to know what the average fps for the round is on a target round. What is a .40 traveling at in a box of say, 180grn Fiochi? or 165grn? I'm not talking about corbon's go fasters but regular ammo. I would eventually like to work up my load to match the factory ammo specs which is why I'm asking.

Thanks in advance,
Evan
