load data for 140gr Missouri Bullet Company

So a friend of mine gave me these lead bullets because he ordered the wrong ones. He thought he was ordering the 180 gr lead bullets from Missouri Bullet Company and when he opened his package there was 2000 140 gr lead bullets. I got a chance to put together some pretty good loads with these.

I also loaded up ten 3.4 gr but it was late in the day and my mind was not functioning correctly. Fired the first five founds and the chrono only registered 3. After I reviewed the information, i went and fired the next five rounds which the chrono only registered 4. I thought it would add the seven togther but it only did the last four. I ended with a PF of 127 and ave of 911 fps. This load literally spit the shells in my lap as I SAT ON THE SHOOTING BENCH . A very light shooting load that cycled all the rounds even though I only have a factory spring. Going to load more and rapid fire them to see what happens. Ill keep you guys and girls posted.
