Anyone use Sport pistol for .40 S&W? Is it a good powder for 180 gr bullets?

For what purpose? I have never been impressed with the published data.
Longshot will give you best velocites with 180's.

Never looked into it. Are you sitting on 20 lbs??

Personally Longshot or better yet, CFEPistol.

See:

I'm using it with heavy (147gr cast) 9mm to great effect.
See also use in the 40 in the article above.

I wonder how it compares to CFEPistol load for load. I might have to buy a lb or 2! Is it available?
