bullet...check...powder...check...primer...check

This is what I got Berrys 155gr round nose hollow base plated bullet, Power Pistol powder, and remington small pistol primers. All to use with once fired remington brass. I ran around most of the Denver metro area trying to gather all of this. now to compare load data and set up the press.

I have to assume this is for .40 S&W. Just shot some today with Unique powder and CCI primers. Worked well for me.

If it were me, I'd start at 1.125 and 7.0gr. One mag of those and move up to 7.5, if all was as expected. Probably gonna be at 8.0-8.5 max with plated bullets.

What handgun? I use a Tanfo with 10mm magazines for Action shooting, and steel shooting. The OAL is longer than most at 1.20"! The longer OAL means more powder, so I won't mention the amount, but 6.6 should get you started. Work up in .2gr steps.
Have fun,
Gene

It a Beretta PX4 .40 s&w. It a great gun, Ive put at least 1000 rounds through it with zero issues. Ive used PMC, Tula, Remington ammo and it feeds everything. So that gives me great hope for reloads. But I would really like to find the load that it likes the best and is the most accurate.
