Cherryriver Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I tried CFE, but basically, it's intended for jacketed bullets at higher velocities. The results with lead coateds were discouraging- lots of charge weight for not so much velocity. I traded it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harleytech Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 3.9 grains of Alliant E3 under a200 gr Bayou bullet with Federal SPP. 170 PF out of a M&P 40L. Accurate and soft shooting. OAL is 1.162". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzw26n Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I researched this pretty heavily when I got my 40. I kept on reading that VihtaVuori N320 seemed to be what a majority of people were using. Now keep in mind; this was during the "big shortage" and I was moving from .38sc to .40 and was sitting on about 15 pounds of VV N350. Man was I hoping to run across a 350 load, but everyone shooting 40 didn't like it. I ended up finally getting some N320 and haven't looked back. What is your load recipe?

mont1120 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Just attended the Area 1 USPSA, and in the heat noted two .40 shooters and 1 .38 Super shooter go minor. Another 9MM went sub minor. I will say, I like WST for both my .45 and.40 rounds, but in the heat they really slow down. WST and the Blue bullets using 165 grain is great to use, low recoil, but I would not trust them at a chrono match if it is getting hot. For matches in the heat I really like WSF. I bought some last year during the big powder crunch (oddly still in effect) and have learned it is very stable in hot or cold temps. Sometimes the basic powders are really the best.

hcf1976 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I CAN'T believe more people aren't using Expansion Industries ETR7. This powder is AWSOME and the cleanest burning I've seen. Shot a major match this past weekend and my gun looks like I shot maybe 25 rds through it. Until it's not available anymore won't be using anything else!!

Rob Tompkins Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Agreed! I'm an ETR-7 fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
