Heck I was waiting on pics. Now I realize no pics coming. Sad face is in effect.

If anybody wants, I have an Excel file I developed, combining Speer, Hornaday, and a couple other reloading books all into one easy to reference file. Therefore I don't have to consult different books, as I've noticed Speer and one other book I have contradict each other on a couple different poweder measurements for a couple different weighted bullets. I'm working on finishing the spreadsheet for 170-200 gr 40S&W. I have 135-165 gr completed.

PM me if interested as I cannot somehow upload it at the moment, but I can certainly email it to you.

Anybody able to guess what pressure those rounds are running?

4.8 is the starting load, just loaded some rounds and will try them out on Monday.

Bump...

Been tied up with homework and actual paying the bill work lately. Soon as I have an opportunity to finish the spreadsheet I'll post up that it's complete.

On another note. Who's been interested in a NL or Less Lethal round for the .40? It cam to me while making lunch today, and I've been looking around at 10mm rubber balls here: 10mm Rubber Ball-10mm Rubber Ball Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters on Alibaba.com as a preliminary search for an alternate round in my apartment complex where everything is close quarters and kids running around. Any ideas or suggestions? I'm probably going to order something in a week or two and see if I can load a few rounds and test them at the range.

Just a thought.

Does anyone have a good recipe for N320 powering 180 grain Berry's that will make Major for Limited Division. I use N320 for my 9mm Beretta in production but can't find much info for .40 caliber. I'm shooting an XD(M) 5.25. Just got it back from Powder River trigger job and have been shooting Bullseye and Blue Dot in my 40's. I realize the VV is totally expensive but really like it in the 9mm. Meters great and does not seem to be temperature effected. Anyone using N320?
