Got a case of some Rainier 200 grain copper plated flatpoints for 40SW or 10mm.
Loaded a case or so of some hotter 10mm loads but want to make some nice steel plates 15 yard loads with the 200s for my Glock with a 4" barrel in 40SW.
I plan to lightly crimp with a Lee FCD and keep the pressure down below 34K PSI for safety purposes.
I'm just tired of shooting my Glock 34 with some hotter 115 grainers in 9mm and the plates not falling. You can hear the rounds hitting the metal sometimes but not enough energy to knock these plates down. Even lost a match because my plates fell just a millisecond too late. Aaaarrrgh!
Got Titegroup, Clays, Universal, AA#9, and Power Pistol powders on hand. AA9 is probably too slow. Looking at the manual data, I'm hoping to keep the rounds around 800-860 fps.
OAL can be long loaded. While book max is 1.135" OAL, some are using 1.15 OAL.
It's going in my Glock 20 with a 40SW conversion barrel so I'm using 10mm magazines. May also shoot in my SW 610.
Who has some good 40SW 200 grainer recipes?
