Guess I have the question, if no one worries about a 180 coming out of a 10mm at 1200+ fps, why would someone worry about it coming out of a .40 S&W if it could be done so safely... Everyone calls this round the "Short&Weak" and suddenly when a great load comes up we start worrying about core separation...
Personally I perfer 155/165 grain bullets for PD in both calibers pushed as fast as they can go and 200-220s for hardcast heavies and skip right over the 180s...

Well let me see:
I couldn't find ANY ammo company loading 180's to 1200 fps in a 40.
I don't have pressure testing equipment.
Have heard a lot about 40 cal Kabooms...................I read caution there.
180's at 1025 in a 40 are not weak to me.
I didn't design that bullet, and saw nowhere it was ever loaded in a 10mm, so it must have been designed for 40 speeds.
Believe it or not, my 140gr Barnes carry loads at 1250 fps have more snap/recoil impulse than these 180gr loads, or the 200gr XTP's at 1040.
I cant skip these bullets, they were free, will find a good use for them.
Hope that helps.
