.40 s&w 140 gr load data

digbmx4130 · June 5, 2011, 06:29 PM

Have found very little data. Right now I have bullseye, tite group, and hp-38 powders. Would like to use powder I already have, but could buy something else.

AA5, HS6, Power Pistol, Silhouette, 3N37.

First buy one of these; reload any other cartridges?

Hp-38 and Wincheter 231 is the same poweder. I am currently using Win231 with 5.4gr with 155jhp from monatan gold bullet. Gets around 900fps.

I load 9mm and .40 now. Once I pick up a 1911 this summer ill be loading .45. I don't mind picking up another powder if I can find some data.

I also have some 180gr jhp that I load for the .40 , and I'll be picking up some 180gr lrn for the .40
