wrench459 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Most people will do a ladder. To find a powder load that fits both the shooter and pistola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I do that but wanted to see if anybody had a recipe at this configuration. Not really wanting to do all that. I found a 1lb jug in the back of my powders and just wanted to use it up. I don't load with it and don't even know when I bought it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrench459 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Set the container out in the HOT sunshine for a few weeks. Then tell us the results.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronicTwitch Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Xtreme 180gr RNFP loaded to 1.125" with 4.5gr of WST Not sure how close your RN profile is to that. I know there's some load data for WST and 40SW on http://www.hodgdonreloading.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72stick Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) 4.5G of WST should get you close to 165-170 PF at 1.150" OAL. I use 4.7G under 180g Rainiers at 1.190" OAL with just enough crimp to take the bell out and I love the super soft recoil from WST. That's my go to powder for .40S&W. My SD is under 10 with WST. It's a little temp sensitive, but I don't shoot that much outside when it gets cold. Edited August 5, 2017 by 72stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anbrumm Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) I'm running 1.16 OAL so take that into consideration, but I am using 4.65 gr. of WST and 180 gr. Black Bullets coated bullet. Just went 169.9 PF at a major a few weeks ago. Edited August 19, 2017 by anbrumm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsu96 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Take it for what it's worth, but my WST for 200 gr Xtreme RNFP plated is 4.3 gr of WST at 1.135" OAL out of an XDM 5.25 .40. PF ~ 170 IIRC. Been a while since I've chrono'd it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
