Need a Major Load for .40 in a 610 Revo ...

[AultGM]

Looking for a sure-fire Major Load for my 6.5" 610 Revo using VV N320 and

165 gr. or 180 gr. plated bullets, and WSP Primers.

Wha-cha got for me, fellow Revo shooters ?

I have been using w231 with mg165 bullets. These make about 170pf from both my 610 and xd5".

Thanks, but I am working with VV N320 and I have a LOT of it ... Guess I'll just work up

a Minor Load to be safe ... It will kill my match score but, at age 66 and fat, I'm not shooting

GM scores even in Major and my real competition days are over ... It's all for Fun now.

The 2/2002 VihtaVouri reloading manual lists the following in 40 S&W with a 155 gr rainier bullet:

5.3 gr. VV N-320 = 1086 fps

5.9 gr. VV N-320 = 1171 fps

Hope that helps.

Ault,

I have a major load for .40 in a 4 inch 610 at the house, unfortunately for you I'm not at the house. I'll post it Friday when I get home.

I can give you the load I use in my Limited gun (Para Ord P-16). It's 5.0gr of N320 with 180gr Rainer seated to 1.19" oal and WSR primers. That load easily makes major. I know, the primers aren't the same and the bullet may not be the same, but its a starting point.

Getting at it a little sideways but.....I just chronoed (ok my wife chronoed for me) my match load of 4.8 grains titegroup and 180 montana gold bullet in both my para p16 and in my 5" 610 and they were within about 10 fps of each other on average so the para load mentioned above may be a good way to go.
