medic21 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I have a friend moving back from Arizona. He plans on shooting IDPA and USPSA with me. I'll need to start reloading 40 SW for him. He shoots a Glock. I use VitaVhouri 320, 340 and 3N37 for my 45 ACP and 9mm and don't want to stock other powders unless I must. Anyone out there willing to share their pet VitaVhouri recipes for 40 SW/165 or 180? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone out there willing to share their pet VitaVhouri recipes for 40 SW/165 or 180? TIA OMG, just search for 40 major and you'll find all the info that you want... seems lots of us stick with N320. I load it at 4.85gr behind zero 180 JHP in a 5" limited gun. But as I'm sure you know, all barrels, heads, temps, etc will cause performance to vary greatly, so start low, get a chrono and work up... but if you have N320, why change... yeah, there are cheaper, but dang it works good.

Graham Smith Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 You should be able to load MG 180 CMJ with 4.5gr of N320 to an OAL of about 1.135 and be in the ballpark for a Glock. Fine tune with a chrono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
