herky Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Much will depend on what gun and the OAL you need. I shoot Win. Action Pistol, which I'm told is the same as Silhouette in 40 at 1.190 OAL out of an SV. 180 gr FMJ with 6.5 grs. and 200 FMJ with 6.0 grs. Start low and work the load up to Major.

Tokarev Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 5.5 grains of Ramshot Silhouette under a 200 grain cast round nose bullet gives me a 170 pf from my 5" STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UW Mitch Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd like to switch from Titegroup to Silhouette for my 40 load since it's the powder I'm using in my 9Major load. I've looked at the reloading manual as a starting point, but I'm loading much longer than the manual thus I believe I will need an increased powder charge. Current recipie: 40S&W Mixed brass 180gr MG CMJ 4.6 gr Titegroup WSP 1.190" COL I'd like to swap out for Sil. I think a good starting point based on my searches would be 6.0gr. Can anyone who's loading long with Sil verify? Thanks! Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsomeguy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well... you are using a much longer OAL than I do cause I'm shooting XD's or XDm's in .40 so I load at about 1.130-1.135, but I use 5.8 grn. Silhouette behind 180grn Berry's HP or even S&S lead fn. I get 171 PF with my 5" Tactical with the Berry or about the same with lead in the XDm which has a 4.5" barrel. Shoots sweet, runs cool, and stays clean. Not much smoke with the lead either. I really like Silhouette since I have been using it and consider it one of the best if not THE best powders for .40.
