BobS761 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 We managed to get 144 PF with 3.0 grains of Clays using 180 grain lead cast bullets. Bullets were cast from old fishing sinkers and using Lee tumble lube dies. Shot well out of 2 bone stock XDm .40 4.5 guns but wouldn't lock back the slide in an XD .40 tactical. Maybe a lighter spring? Anyway, it was our first attempt at making minor loads, and was a lot of fun! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightFireJay Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I've loaded for minor in .40 S&W with Titegroup, WST, and Trailboss. I like the Trailboss the best, 3.1 gr under 180 gr TC Bearcreek moly. Cycles stock Glock 23 and M&P 40 Pro. Some people report having issues with it not metering very well, but it gives me the lowest SD out of all my reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig N Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Seems a little hot given that minor is only 125 PF and most people shoot for 130 PF. Keep working at it you can get it lower and softer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef J Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Try 3.1 gr of WST, it will get you right around 130PF and does well w/ lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
