Okay - I'm using what I think are safe loads - though it's darn near impossible to find good load data for .40 S&W w/180 gr FMJ. Some of these loads have less recoil than factory ammo (e.g. Winchester 165 Gr bullet).
So, the picture shows three loads (left three columns) and new reloads (right column) for primer comparison. I'm new to all this reloading and want to be sure I am not over (or under for that matter) loading.
The loads are as follows from leftmost column to right: all using 180 Gr. FMJ bullets and Winchester primers.
1. 4.6 gr AA#2 with an OAL=1.125"
2. 4.9 gr AA#2 with an OAL=1.125"
3. 5.2 gr AA#2 with an OAL=1.160"
So, what do you think, are these flattened?
....If so, do you have suggested recipes for this (same bullet... but can use different powder if need be!).
Thank you!!
