I also have a Stock II in 40. I’ve shot 40 minor for many years. I do love Clays (regular Clays) for minor, but for some reason I’m finding that Titegroup is gaining on me. I’ve always shot 40 minor in polymer guns and maybe that has something to do with it. I’m not sure what it is exactly.
All of my loads were based on 180gr bullets. I have played around with 200s but it’s not worth it in my opinion. I don’t have a real opinion on 165s.
My Clays load was 3.0gr @ 1.135
My current Titegroup load is 3.5gr @ 1.135
I do LOVE WST, but for major loads in other guns. Not for minor. -
Any reputable places to send my barrel off to?
-
Mine is a Henning. Do others make something similar? -
Federal Syntech.

Amen! The Sig max is a great etsring platform. It has great sights, Dawson magwell, Koenig firing group, good accuracy, great grips. You will have to adjust trigger weight, possibly pin grip safety (if you feel the need). Dang, they should be paying me for this LOL.
I’ve seen 2 Sig Maxs. Both of them made multiple trips back to Sig because they would not run at all.
Both remain retired as a backup to the backups. -
Barrel bushing, recoil springs for new loads, sights, mag release, grips
.....is what I usually change out. -
Sig Match ammo. Not sure of the prices.

It depends on your objective with the gun. In competition shooting sports we want soft recoil which means a fast-burn powder which still is in the sweet spot, pressure wise.
I know you have no idea who Charlie ( [mention=15819]CHA-LEE[/mention]) is, but trust me when I say that for any information regarding shooting Limited or loading .40... he is a wealth of knowledge. Listen to that man. He has won a lot of major matches in Limited, and blown a few cases out using the wrong powder over the years.
I really like WST, and a bonus is that it also works extremely well for shoft-shooting minor power factor 9mm ammo.
Does L10 count? I won a few of those across the country. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] -
What exactly do you mean by wont achieve much? Like the gun will fire and everything and i just wont be getting everything out of it that i could be?
You’d either blow up the gun trying to achieve a clean burn or you’d load it low to where your accuracy would suffer compared to a proper powder. -
Sell the HS-6 powser to an open shooter for 9 Major then buy the appropriate powder for your .40 Major load (WST, Win 231, N320, Tight Group, Prima SV, etc).
Powder is cheap, use the correct powder for your loads verses trying to use us “free” powder that is the wrong burn rate.
I was going to go this path but you beat me to it.
It’s hard to convince someone that has wrong powder to get the right powder. Especially when they got it for free.
At a Glock OAL, HS-6 could be bad.
Even if major is not achieved, you’ll have unburnt powder in the gun. You won’t achieve much with HS-6. -
Hi im new to reloading and purchased a glock 22 gen 3. I have not found any exact load data on the combo i suggested. The closest i can find is a 175gr lead bullet or a 180gr jacketed bullet. And from what im gathering from reading on here is that lead needs less of a charge so would the charges they recommend for those loads be a good starting point to begin with or should i back it off more than that and just work my way up until im satisfied
I suppose my question to you would be, why HS-6? -
What type of lube has been used? Dry or oil based?
Had this laying around. Tried it and worked smoothly for 2 years. -
I had this similar issue. I cleaned the track the shuttle rides on and lubed it. Issue went away. I’ve had my 650 for the same amount of time.
-
The last batch they sent me were .401. You must specify .400 or you will get .401
Well that’s simply false.
They’ve always been .400 for the years I’ve ordered them. -
Anyone in the 1.155 OAL range shooting minor?
I have 180s and 165s from BBI.
I have e3, Clays (Canadian), WST, Ramshot Competition, Titegroup, Claydot and few others I haven’t thought of for 40 like W231 and IMR Target
What have people found to be consistent? -
I wonder if going as light as 11# would be bad for your optic. I don’t know or have any optics.
I shoot a 40 in major and minor. I use a 12.5 for both. -
I heard Ramshot Competition is a poor a man's N320.
True story. -
Batch number?
Also, are BBI .401"?
BBI is .400
-
Do you need PF for steel challenge?
I thought you didn’t. I’d make a load that’s accurate for both calibers that will always function and go from there. -
Correct.
I was quoting/referring to the post where he sees guys click it off while in the holster.
If after the buzzer, you decide to click off the safety, assuming your strong hand draw is in process, then it doesn’t matter as long as you are in control of the firearm.
I know too many competitors who’s process involves a safety disengage sweep during the draw. Seems normal, and they are in control. -
I load for a P320 in 40 currently. My OAL is at 1.150. I went from Glock to Sig so my length increased.
-
I missed the 200gr part.
What’s the temp like? WST does funny things at different temperatures. -
Where are you trying to land? Isn’t 718 FPS major?

.40 Minor loads for Stock ll
in 10mm/40 Caliber
Posted
It does run hotter but the impulse feels right. It’s definitely not major and still softer than some 9 IMO.
You will enjoy Clays once you dial it in.
