Need: 40 S&W loading data...

[IdahoSharpshooter]

Anybody got any starting load data in the 900fps range for a 155gr Hornady bullet?

I went to Hornady's website a few minutes ago searching, but those cheap so&so's* now want 99-cents per cartridge/bullet data.

Rich

* that is not what I meant, although it starts with "S". This is a family forum however.

Mild rant over. I went to the Speer reloading section on their website and found a full page for their 150gr bullets. Same for Nosler, although I had to hand copy the data due to their goofy response when I hit my page prep and then the "print" button.
Loads for both start at about 950 +/-fps.

In about two weeks, I start on a 2000 round binge with my SDB.

Do you own, or have access to, a chronograph? If velocity is a critical parameter (power factor), best to verify in your firearm(s) before loading a lot of rounds...

ill second on the crony! no way i would AGAIN load a few thousand rds without first function and accuracy testing.

we run 180gr and i and pretty sure 3.5gr Bullseye is the load for the Dillon

and 3.7gr Bullseye for 124gr 9mm

I pulled up Speer reloading data for 40 S&W and got both 165 and 180 grain bullet data with 4 different powders and min and max loads for each. No problem printing them with a right click.

hodgdon load data has what you want.

These may be a bit hotter than you asked for, but you can always load down................
