AGlock36 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Well the question is- Is .40 cal from the box, i.e. Atlanta Arms, Winchester, ect, ect,ect Major or Minor Power Factor? I ask this merely for the fact that I am going to try to shoot my first USPSA match the middle of next month and have not started reloading YET. I will as soon as the funds are avail but for the time being I am going to just have to buy factory. Thanks in advance for any and all replies. Happy Shooting Paul Franklin The Question Man.

n2299 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 FWIW I chrono some 180gr WinClean last summer. They average around 975fps out of my SV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I think the Winchester 165's and 180's make Major. I would chrono those before going to a big match...but, I'm pretty sure you get Major out of them in a Glock. Jeff Maass has some data on his site for factory ammo, I think. http://home.columbus.rr.com/jmaass/ipscload.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Winchester USA Q-white-box 165s were around 1050 fps from my 5" STI bbl. I think most factory 40 makes Major, but I know some doesn't. The Fiocchi brown box load perhaps? (That's why they make a red box load named Major.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
