If money is no issue, what is your favorite 40 major powder? Why?

320 is great and super clean but all i run is autocomp now. i loaded up mags and asked random people at the range to shoot the gun and 10 out of 10 randoms all thought autocomp was softer. is it dirtier? yea but barely. 

autocomp is pretty gassy.  what load are you using?
I know wst is softer, but too temperature sensitive for me.

4.6 at 1.165 oal is 171pf in 80f and 168 in 31f weather. It's the softest limited major load I have EVER shot. That's through a 5" Kim barrel in an atlas titan. 

 

Just enough crimp to remove the bell.

Have you tried the Autocomp with any plated bullets (180 or 200)?

Sorry but no. Not in 40. I use it for open though! I do want to try n320 and a.c. with some 180 pds though so I'll report back if I ever do.

OK, I'm going to order some N320 and work up a load for it with Xtreme 180 RNFP's.  I'll post the results once complete.

 

BTW, which 180 PD's are you using JHP or FMJ?

I just did this.  My load is now 5.1 n320, 180 RNFP, 1.118-1.119

It's around 172 PF

I asked around locally, and some people get by with 5gr, some as high as 5.35gr

I'd run jhp if I did

Great, thanks for the load data.

When I run out of ramshot comp I will try prima SV.  If its a no go for some reason I will start going with 320

Why are you not sticking with ramshot? I used it last year and when I ran out started using prima v then some n320 and I’m going back to ramshot.
