Range tests for my XD40SC reloads - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Here are some test results for my first XD40SC reloads.
I used some range brass with Titegroup behind a Rainier 155 GR. FP. These were reloaded using a Lee Pro 1000 progressive press. The OAL = 1.126"
I also shot some WWB for reference.
All shooting was done at a indoor range using the fold down plastic tray/table at the firing line as a rest.
All targets were placed appox. 5 yards down range and I used the center dot as POA.
Test used both 12 shot extended mag and 9 shot standard mag

1- 3.9 GR. 12 shots = Three cases Failed to Eject ( too weak?)

2- 4.2 GR. 12 shots = No problems

3- 4.4 GR. 12 shots = No problems

4- 5.0 GR. 12 shots = No problems

5- 5.4 GR. 11 shots = felt a higher recoil, hole at 6, shot off bench

6- WWB 180 GR JHP 9 shot mag.

7- WWB 165 GR FMJ Target 5 shots in the 9 shot mag

I wish my range allowed bringing target that close we have to stay 15 yards back.

I was impressed at how well the WWB Ammo. preformed.

After seeing your results with the 9mm at 5 yards I am happy with my XD-45s at the 12 yard test I did.

Anyway it was a very good report and pictures.

Good shooting. Which load do you prefer now, after the test?

I just finished reloading 325 rounds with 4.2 GR. Titegroup (pic #2). We'll see if I can do that good freehand.
