Anyone use Longshot to reload the 40SW?
Looking at Hogdon load data with a 40SW and a 4 inch barrel you can get 1160FPS at 32,350 PSI using 8.0 grains, interestingly the 10mm with 9.5 grains of same powder and 5 inch barrel only give 1287FPS with the XTP at 34,600PSI. Longshot looks like a good powder for this bullet weight.
Interesting you can get 90% of the velocity with 50% of the pistol weight using a 40SW in this bullet weight.
According to Hodgdon data, you can get 1139 fps with a 185 grain bullet at only 19,700 psi in a .45 auto. Pretty much the same velocity with a slightly larger bullet. You can get 1142 fps with a 200 grain cast SWC in a .45 auto, surpassing the 40SW in your example.
