ogolimu25 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hello im new to reloading. I was wondering if you can use AA#2 with xtreme 155gr plated fn and win wsp primers? The load data from the lee die set says I can use AA2 at 5.6gr starting but my hornady and lyman manuals have no data on it. ill be useing a xd .40 and a HK p30 .40 .

Speedemon45 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Here is the data from the powder manufacturer. Since you are using a plated bullet instead of jacketed you should start on the low side of this and work up the load as you would any other. Do you have a chronograph yet? 6 EDITION 3.5 HANDGUN 40 S&W Barrel: 4" ■ Twist: 1-16" ■ Primer: WIN WSP ■ Bulle t Diameter .400" Jacketed Bullets: No.2 135 NOS JHP 6.8 1,097 7.6 1,247 34,700 1.125 No.2 150 NOS JHP 5.9 988 6.6 1,098 34,860 1.135 No.2 155 BRY RS5.6 968 6.2 1,100 35,000 1.125 No.2 155 HDY XTP 5.9 966 6.5 1,073 34,350 1.135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 If those loads are .40 major, I'd buy a chrono soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
