Now That I Have The 40sw Shell Plate I Need The Load

oncall · April 5, 2009, 09:12 AM

I finally got a shell plate to load 40sw....all I need now is loading data.

My Hornaday manual does have a listing for 165gr FMJ's.

Anyone have good range load. I have Clay's & 231 and can get Blue Dot as powder choices seem to be few and far between these days.

Try the new autocomp powder it has worked great for me in the 40S&W. You can pick up a hogdon yearly paper back manual for about 7 bucks from a book store. It has the new loads and worth having.

If this helps I load 165g FMJ FN with 4.9g of W231 OAL of 1.135 works great in my M&P 40. Max Load is 5.1g
