Dirtchevy841 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Can y'all point me in the right direction. Need recipes for 40 major. Powder grains bullet size and OAL. Heard n320 and cfe pistol are the top 2 with a lot of guys. Any recipes appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwithnoname Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I've been loading xtreme 180s with 4.8 grains of N320 at 1.130" with CCI primers. This is for my Glock 35 with the stock barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 4.5 of N320 1.15" for a 200 grain plated. Anything you decide to do work up and use a chrono. All barrels are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyOverUnder Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'm not sure if cfe is part of the top counts. I'd say titegroup, WST, clays and a few others have more popularity than cfe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaze190 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I've been using 5.6 grain of CFE lately with Extreme 180 grain hollow points loaded to a OAL of 1.140 in my XDM 5.25 and have had pretty good results. Last time I checked on the chrono it was about 172 power factor and grouped pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtchevy841 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 So is the top powder n320. Seems like it always comes back to that powder for 40 cal. Is this what I should start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsg Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 200 Extreme plated 4.0 Titegroup Win SPP 1.180 oal In my Trojan, this makes 171 - 173 PF but is pretty soft shooting. Same load except 3.1 of Titegroup makes a very soft minor load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyADub1 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 For STI Edge 5" 180gr Black Bullets 4.3gr Titegroup 1.135" COAL CCI SPP No. 500 mixed range brass chrono's 169-171PF I'm sure there is small room for improvement, but it's a trade off vs what is regularly available in my area. I have no doubts I can shoot tens of thousands of this without worrying that I won't be able to get powder or some other component. Whatever you do, chrono it in any gun you may shoot, and record ambient conditions. Don't want to assume you're good to go on a 110F day, then chrono a late season match at 40F and not make major.

johnsons1480 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 3.6gr e3, 180gr Falcoated, 170pf, 1.126 oal in my TS. I used your load as a starting point with Bayou 180 gr TCG bullets loaded to 1.126. I bracketed it and ended up with charges of 3.2-4.0 in 0.2 grain increments. I figured that would get me where I wanted to be in my CZ TS. 4.0 was almost there, but I had 2 shots that were sub major. I'll have to try 4.2-4.6 and see where I end up. Here's my data. My chrono didn't pick up all of my shots for 3.8; that's why the data is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
