Got over 5.0gr of N320 just to make minor on the 150gr JHP...... Holy! Wow. That is a lot more powder than I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norone Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Ya... its painfully odd. I may start from scratch and ladder/step it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novagunner Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I was going the math and 5.0 is a few tenths more than expected. I use 3.2 with a 200 gr blue and make about 133pf. so 3.2/.75=4.26 gr and you will need a bit more of jhp vs moly. Not sure what your oal is, I run about 1.135 and shooting from a g35.

jbultman Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I love my 40 minor load, to be completely honest I’ve never chrono’d it (guessing 130pf) because I just use it for local steel matches where no power factor is needed, but it’s money.... shooting out of a Brazo’s 2011 and an Edge. The round just barely cycles the slide, super super soft. 1.185 3.0gr of Clays 180gr BBI (Have to drop from a 12.5# recoil spring to 10#) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very inexpensive insurance. Oh I have a chrono, saved me a few times prepping new loads or confirming minor changes loads before majors. Wouldn’t load without one. I agree very inexpensive insurance if your roll you own ammo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This use to be my go to load when I started shooting production with a glock 35. I was using the Aussie clays though. I think I made 134 PF with this load.

Is there a different source for Clays powder now? And how is it different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factory that produced the Aussie Clays burned down years ago if my memory serves me right. I haven't used clays for a long time so I am not sure, Aussie clays were more "energetic" from what I understand.

Rosswoodford Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) When I was setting up my press I didn’t get my scale calibrated correctly, the result was some of the most glorious, softest shooting .40 ever. 3.6gr WST 180gr DG bullet 1.185 OAL 725 FPS 130.5 PF I was extremely disappointed when I learned why it was so soft.... lol Edited August 19, 2019 by Rosswoodford Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
