Load Data for 40 S&W 155gr LSWC

[cfreedman]

I purchased a box of 500 40 S&W 155 grain LSWC projectiles and cannot find much as far as load data for it. Does anyone have any manuals with this data in it? My Lee book has a few options but I would like to find some more. Thanks.

Do you have a specific powder you want to use ??

I have W231, HP-38, Bullseye, Titegroup, and Unique.

5.2 of WW 231 will give you about 1046 fps out of a five in barrel. IPSC Major for a 155 gr bullet is 1064 minimum. At these velocities you need a hard cast bullet, not soft swaged lead.

I use 5.8 gr of W231 behind a 155 gr Berry's plated bullet at 1.130 COL and get very good accuracy.

I have load data for 155 grain lead with Bullseye and Unique. It doesn't list the bullet style. I also have data for 155 grain jacketed with Titegroup and W231. If you want any of this data, I'll copy the pages from the manuals and mail them to you. I think that's better than posting the info here,even though I'm perfect and never make mistakes. You could also call the powder mfg.
