I bought a lb at my local club and it seems promising in my .40 limited gun.. 5IN Briley Barrel - I loaded the following: WSPP 180 GR Xtreme .40 HP Loaded at 1.185 4.8 Grains of IMR Target AVG Velocity - 966 STD Dev - 15.4 Extreme Spread - 41 AVG PF - 174 The recoil seems between n320 and CFE.. I'll reduce the powder charge for additional load development this weekend to see if I can get a PF closer to what I am looking for.

Hey everyone, I just thought I would post a couple of loads I made tonight and make sure you all think they will be safe/what I am going for before I go shoot them tomorrow. I am new to reloading (approx. 1 year) and this is my first real go at loading for .40 cal (or major for that matter). Gun is a stock Glock 35 (I am aware of potential leading issues, I plan on checking every 5-10 rounds for leading issues). All brass is mixed headstamp. All OAL's are 1.125. Load 1: 3.9 gr IMR Hi Skor 700X 180 gr Badman Hard Cast Flat point Federal Small pistol primer Load 2: 3.5 gr 700X 180gr Badman Flat point Fed SPP Load 3: 4.5 gr Bullseye 180 gr Badman Flat Point Fed SPP Load 4: 4.8 gr Bullseye 180 gr Badman Flat point Fed SPP Does anything seem glaringly wrong? I wouldn't be offended if there was, like I said I am very new to this. I don't really want to blow up my new gun either (or especially blow up my hand).... Thank you all for the help! ::Edited to finish, accidentally posted early.
