SNS cast bullets

[gunner40sw]

I recently was given  1000 SNS coated  180 GR flat point bullets and WSF powder.  In the past I have only loaded either Zero or MG  180 GR jacketed hollow point bullets for my STI pistols for competition using VV N320.  I have always loaded them long also from 1.180   to 1.200 for reliability.  So now I want to load these for some of my other 40 cal guns that will not take a bullet at that length.  So it looks like the OAL for a 180 grain bullet is 1,115 and I am looking for some loads using a coated bullet and WSF powder.  If anyone has any info I would appreciate it.

5.15gr WSF with an SNS 180gr @ ~1.130 makes 170PF put of my CZ TS.

I don't have anything for 1.115

1.140 will still fit in glock mags and cz mags. 

I loaded bayou 180 fp to 1.140 to run out of a glock. It made power factor by a comfortable margin at 960fps but I don't remember the exact charge of n320 to get there. I started at 4.2 and worked up if that helps. I tried wsf for it too but ended up sticking with n320. N320 had less spread on the chrono if I recall.

I've used 4.8 @ 1.125.. Are you trying to make power factor our using them for plinking?

 Just using for plinking.  Have a glock 22 a springfield 5" tactical and a beretta storm to shoot them out of

I would start at 4.5 @ 1.125 and see how they work for you.  That should be a pretty good round to plink with.
