That'll work Hook, getting them just right and how we like them is part of the fun, anything done to help put shots on target is always a worthwhile endeavor, speaking of, carrying the old P226 357 Sig for a few days had me in the load shop this morning, had a bag of 100 ww 40 S&W brass, loaded it with 7gr Longshot under the 180gr HST's with double cannelure lit with CCI spp, 1.125" col, i sold the other ammo i had loaded for that P226 40 cal, a Bud brought over a frantic guy around the middle of the kung fu flu plandemic, that guy had a 40 and couldn't find ammo anywhere, he would have paid 10 bucks a round LOL, i sold him 380 rounds of the 180 HST's for a buck a piece, thought he was going to pee himself ; ]
That said, and iirc i had a thread a few years ago about the 180gr HST's in my 40 cal Sig, Hodgdons max load of 8gr Longshot sent those bullets to 1200 fps, i figure 7gr will run around 1100, plenty perfect imho, these damn guns are just plain fun.
