pandashorts Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I've noticed a lot of guys and gals with loads for 180 Gr. bullets, but I can't find anything for a 135 Gr. Flat Point. My Sierra manual doesn't even list Titegroup under 135 Gr. bullet! Anyone with a suitable load please help. I'm looking for a nice soft target load, but anything will help at this point. I figure 5.0 grains will work nicely, but I am weary of loading without any sort of data. Thanks ahead of time.
Flexmoney Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Hodgdon lists their max load: http://www.hodgdon.com/data/pistol/40sw.php
pandashorts Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 Flexmoney, I think I forgot to mention that I am retarded. I don't know how I missed that data. I thought I checked out hodgdon.com! Oh well, nobody's perfect. Thanks for enlightening me and hopefully I'll see you at the shoot on Saturday. BTW, the 22 is working out nicely. I put about 50 rounds through it the other day and am ready to make some more holes.
BigDave Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Do a search in the 10/40 forum here and you'll find what you need. I've loaded 5.0 gr under a 135, loaded long (1.120"). It will get you about 1000-1050 fps, but it can be a bit inconsistent over the chrono. Nice, soft and potentially very accurate.
