I like Ramshot Enforcer (AA 4100) and I use it a lot in my 44 mag loadings. Enforcer also has a place for producing high velocities at safe pressures in other cartridges - in this case the 40SW.
I have published load data showing a 4" barrel velocity of 1300+fps with a 165gr Montana Gold FMJ. And this data has been confirmed by other folks who've tried it.
My M&P40 Compact (4" barrel) wasn't much money, and I like it a lot for a woods gun. A 165gr fmj at 1300+fps will drill a 40cal hole a long ways - likely nose to kidneys on a bear.
What do you all think? Is it worth it to hot-rod the 40SW into 10mm territory?
