tcazes Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Can anyone point me to a link for some autocomp load data shooting coated lead. 180 or 200gr. I can't find much for just autocomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Probably because WAC is not one of the better powders for .40. It's a little on the slow side, and you are better off with a faster powder, like WW231 or N320. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Jack is WSF ok for 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 See honestly I'm a die hard n320 guy but I have 8lbs of autocomp to burn through. I know at 5.0grns under a 200 it feels amazi g and shoots accurate as all get out through my briley custom. Just curious what other data is out there.

ChuckS Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Did you chrono that load? Unless I am missing something, it looks like you can not delete an attachment once you have uploaded it. Not cool... Edited June 17, 2017 by ChuckS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) I plan to chrono it again Sunday. Someone shot the same round at single stack nationals and it was 180 something pf. I have 100 180s and a ton of 200s. I just don't know how low to go with my 180s or how high. Trying to figure out a range I can chrono this Sunday. Figured I'd see what other peoples data were.

tcazes Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Lol I didn't even look at the bullet diameter lmao. That data shows 167pf at 4.8 so I feel I can come down from 5.0 maybe. I may do Sets of 10 180 bbi 4.5 4.8 5.0 5.2 5.4 5.5 200 bbi 5.0 And then do everything like the 180s when my next 500 pack of 200s comes in next week. My chrono should be here sunday.

orangeman711 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Try VV-N340 clean, and runs good in 40cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 340 and AC in .40 for Open with a 135 gr bullet. 340 was a tad faster than AC. I don't think either is well suited for non-comped 40 major with heavy bullets.

tcazes Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 See I felt the same way but all of the locals love it and I mean I will admit it shoots great at 5 gr. I guess the data I get will tell the tale. It's definitely dirtier than n320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 If I had 8 lbs of WAC lying around, and 5.0 grains shot "Great" and is accurate, I'd chrono it and use it all up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was first developing loads for 40 I tried a bunch of different powders on up to the N340/WAC speed level. Yes, there was a recoil difference, but you only noticed it when comparing different loads at the same practice session. The problem I had with the slower powders was the SDs were not as good as with the faster powders. That just means you have to load a little hotter to be sure every round is above minimum. Use it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
