mcb Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I looked in the 40/10mm reloading sub-forum and didn't find a lot. So if any of you revolver shooters are shooting 40 cal - 200gr bullets I would love to hear what you're loading and what velocity its making. I would especially love to hear your load if your using Titegroup. Thanks in advance mcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcb Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 6.5" 610,, 4.7 TG with Berry 180 FP OAL 1.200". 169 at last Area match That's about the load I was using when I was loading Berry's 180 RN but I have this box of 2250pcs of MG 200gr CMJ and a bunch of Titegroup I would like to use up. From looking at Hodgdons website and what little other data I could find that uses Titegroup and 200gr bullets I think if I load to roughly 10mm OAL 1.25-1.26 (I believe I will have enough bullet with the long 200gr bullet to still get a good seat and crimp even at the length in a 40S&W case) that about 4.2gr of Titegroup should give me about a 171PF. I was hoping someone would have used a similar load in their 610 and could give me some confirming data (powder charge and velocity) actually fired in a 610.

hdgun Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Why dont you give it a try, start with 4.0 TG and go from there. Do you have a Crono? If not, find a friend with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10mmdave Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Ditto what hdgun said, find a chrono. And give the board some time, sure folks will chime in with numerous recipe's I have shot a bunch of tightgroup in 38 cal revo's, didn't really like it. I'll check my data tonight (hopefully ) I must have some 10mm TG loads. I've been using clays and it shoots very soft, did a side by side test with 3 powders once and all loads were 168-171 pf but the clays load felt the best and strangly enough it was the higher PF !

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 When I had a 4" 610 the only time I had split brass was with 200gr bullets. I ended up using them up with 10MM loads and switched to the load HDGUN stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwr461 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I use 200 grain Berrys bullets in my .40 s&w cz75b. I know it's not a revolver but 200 grain bullet with 4.3 grains N320 at OAL of 1.125" made 171 PF in October in Louisiana. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10mmdave Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Okay, sorry I took so long and maybe your all set, but since I made the pdf I'm attaching it anyways The attached is data from 2 different 6.5 inch 610's using both 40 S&W brass and 10mm brass. 10mm brass gives better long range accuracy (+35 yrds) but I have about two 5 gallon bucket fulls of Win 40 S&W brass so I use that. Good enough for USPSA accuracy 'till those 50 yrd shots show up. As you'll see from the data it looks like you might want to start around 4.0-4.2 and ya might get up to 4.4 grns, "all depends on the gun" as they say. As always...you this data at your own risk ! Good luck, but you might find Clays softer shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
