hot 40 s&w and 10mm
« on: March 26, 2012, 03:11:20 AM »
last year I bought Swamp Fox 10mm ammo and loved it. Does any one have any load data to achieve the #s they did ?
 I am also looking for a snappy 40s&w load to push either a 180gr-200gr at around 1150. I see Double Tap has loads rated at this but didnt know if it was actually achievable by handloads. Thanks !

1150 fps with a 180 gr bullet is firmly in 10mm territory.  Buffalo Bore and Double Tap list their +P heavy loadings for .40 with the 180gr at 1100fps. I have been unable to find any credible loading data that comes close to that in .40. As you have a 10mm already, don't know why you'd want to load the .40 to those levels. Good luck, and load safely!

Go to Hogdgon's reloading data center and look at .40 S&W loads using Longshot. They're the hottest published .40 loads I've found.
