[M&P ,40 Major load?]

I'm shooting Limited with my M&P Pro .40 with the following loads that work great:

Xtreme FPRN, 180gr, 1.16OAL, 4.7gr of either VV N320 or Solo 1K

Chrono's: Avg Vel = 952fps, Avg PF = 171.5

Winchester SPP

N320 is great, consistent...just expensive. Solo 1K is a good cheaper substitute, just temperature sensitive and powder throws may vary.

Good luck,

He left all the steel along the slide rails, and the top-center of the slide is solid, so it should retain plenty of rigidity. Most of the flex/strength is a slide is along the rails and the top center. I'm shooting 90% 200Gr 40s loaded to about 170 PF, so the gun shoots REALLY soft.

Time will tell, but the M&P platform is SO cheap compared to the S_I guns (half the build price), I can just build another!! (I'm considering a 9 Major soon.)

Hey Jeff, I know you've been shooting 200gr Bayou/Solo 1K for awhile now and can guess how soft it shoots. Just wondering if the cycle feels significantly slower than shooting 180s? I'm thinking of making a batch of 200s, but wanted to get your take compared to 180s. Thanks
