Ancient One Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Is there any published pressure data or loading manual data using 180 gr jacketed or cast bullets with VV 320 in the .40 S&W? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 No, not that I know of. THere are no published loads for .40 w/ 320 and 180s; if you adhere to the reloading manuals, this means you should never load N320 in .40 (again, going by the book that is). HOWEVER, many of us use N320 in .40 and I too am curious as to what actual or predicted pressures may be generated by the laods we use (usually @ 1.200"); can someone with access to Quickload give us an idea? I'll start with my current load (WARNING: provided for info only. Do not attempt to duplicate). -Frontier Hard Cast & Plated Rounded Flat Point: 175 grns (avg); Plated/jacketed diameter -4.7 grns of VV N 320 -OAL 1.160" (for CZ Standard IPSC) -Mixed cases; Winchester or Federal small pistol primer -167 PF; SD of 9; 5" Shuemann barrel (non AET) SV .40 Regards, D.C.
