Looking for 140gr Minor Load

[JimmyZip]

Yes, I did search.

I'm running a CZ Tactical Sports in .40

The gun seems to like 1.125 OAL

I have 1K Bear Creek 140gr LFP

I have 5 lbs of Solo 1000.

Various primers

Any of you have a load for this that shoots minor or a decent steel load. I just need this until I get my 180s, and some more TiteGroup.

It's gonna be for practice, and steel.

Thanks, Jimmy

Well,

A friend said to try 4.2 of Solo 1000. The powder measure was throwing 4.3, so I said why bother changing it and just loaded up about 100.

"This is a very soft steel load." is what my friend said. He was very correct. It is a soft, clean burning, accurate load.

Again.

140 gr Bear Creek RNFP

CCI 500 SPP

4.3gr Solo 1000

Mixed headstamp brass, polished and run through a U die before loading on a SDB to 1.125OAL.

I will chrono this load in the next few weeks. It should make minor, maybe not.

ETA: 100 is not 1000

i ran that bullet over 4.3 TG and it worked as good as one could want for a steel load.

FWIW i ran the bullets up to major in my limited glock and they shot remarkably better than i thought they should.

and loaded over some Ramshot Silhouette for my open glock, 180 pf without any problems.
