Very nice article, thanks for posting.

Ok I went to find the chrono print out and 180gr #2 lead with 3.2gr od clays = 790fps and 3.3 was 793fps and 3.4 was 810fps . Ialso did some 180gr #2 lead with 4.2 gr bullseye and it was very soft at 824fps. Chris

so what length does sti recommend?

I just went to order MG's and they have increase to $155/1K for 180's

I think I should start loading longer.

1.160 OAL? the factory ammo I bought was 1.125 federal

what is the oal for a g35?

I have 8 pounds of clays and would like to shoot minor .40 with a 180 gr lead in a g35. any suggestions?

more good information, what length for a g35 .40

Good information but what about the glock 35?

i loaded some 180 berry's with 4.3 grs titegroup and got 951 fps. Chris

John at brassmanbrass.com is great! I have great success with him. He mainly sells once fired brass but has bulletts and other stuff also. Chris

Justforfun, What are your minor loads? I have clays, titegroup, winchester 473aa, unique and many other powders. I would like to shoot some 180 berry's plated as minor loads. Thanks

I am being told Clays is not a good powder for the 40 is this true? Is it just not good for the Glock 35? Thanks Chris

Thanks Jeff,

I have two Para Ordance guns I would like to shoot but are not on the list. I have seen several other ppost from service members returning and using these comm guns. PRX1445CB PRX1640CB How do I get them added to the list or declared as part of the other catogories? Thanks

Thanks, For all your help. Clays for 45 it is. I just wanted to use what I had.

If i'm not going to load major would you use Clays? I have 8 pounds new in a jug. I think i'm going to not use the 9mm for my son and both shoot .40 just for the sake of simplicity.

So with all the other questions here is the price listed on the web. Zeros at .11 and MG's at .12 that's only about $20 / 1k. Montana Gold 180 gr CMJ $134/1000 and $300/2500 shipped.

Ok, Tight group is 12 on the chart and Clays is 16 as rated from slowest to fastest, so why is it ok to shot tight group and not clays in the .40? 1. R-1 (Norma) 59. HS-7 (Hodgdon) 117.

Thanks for the information so far. Yes I have the Clays for the Para P14 .45's that we have-my son and I. I would like to use the Clays in .40 minor in the Glock G35 and Para P16 .40's it looks like 180 gr is the best bullet for production and limited 10. The moly coated #2 alloy sounds like shooting #2 alloy with more stuff in the barrel. What about the over sized chamber of the glocks? MG's are expensive. Berrys has seconds plated for 80.00/K.

OK Guys, I'm new back to shooting IPCS/USPSA (1990) and I'm looking for a recommendation for bullets and powder .40 S&W stock Glock 35,and Para p16/40. I have 8 lbs of Clays so I would like to use it. I have 8 lbs of 473aa. Shooting in the production/L-10 class. It looks like plated bullets are limited to 1200 FPS so this might work in the 180gr. Are CMJ/FMJ/TC/lead the best choices? 180gr jacketed? 155 jacketed? 200gr? #2 Alloy? Who has the best price for the best product? I have the same questions for the 9mm in a G34 for my son. There is so much data on the board STV/STI/G35/ Glocked brass. Need help to wade through it. Thanks, Chris
