I should add that I used the Nosler 135 JHP, EXACTLY matching the book data.

Vv 3n37

My 40 S&W likes lots of VV-3N37 with that bullet.

I have heard all good things

I have heard real good thing about these bullets. I am going to see how hard I can push them and keep the accuracy. I am getting about 700 ft/lbs out of a 140 grainer of a different brand and still getting decent accuracy. I think these may be better though.

They have been reasonably accurate for me, 3" @ 25 yards or so. Very good for the speed IMO.

so far

Longshot has yet to excite me; more testing to come.

I have 'significant' data using the 135g Nosler; e-mail direct.
