Howdy good folks.
G40MOS.
Stock Barrel, trigger polish, Vortex 3moa reddot.
Have tried a variety of bullets and boolits, powders, primers, etc.
Best so far:
Starline Brass
Fed 150 Primer
12.5 gr AA#9
Arsenal Molds 403-200 WFN PC-this mold is completely amazing, best I have ever owned.
Sized 0.4035", tumble and bake PC, size again to 0.4035"
LEE FCD with guts removed used on previously fired brass to remove bulge.
1.250" OAL
Very light crimp, enough to pass plunk test without crimping down boolit.
Not sure on velocity, but swings my 8" steel plates very hard, I don't ultimately care just about velocity, just wanted accuracy at the higher end. I may put them over the chrony some time I guess.
Sitting on my very short hunting chair, with my hands/wrists between my knees, at 75 yards, I can put 3 or 5 shot groups usually within 2-4 inches, sometimes 2 or 3 are nearly touching.
Hundreds of rounds and the same result, hold steady, take my time, and watch the paint come off the target near the last one.
Its nuts, if I can hold still enough and have a consistent grip it hits the plates every time at 75 yards, and at 50 yards it feels like a gimme. I plan to work out to 100 yards or maybe more over the summer.
Have not spent time shooting for groups at 25 yards, but I should I guess just to see what it would do, I bet lots of them might almost touch...
This g40 is SO MUCH FUN! I sold my SBH 44 after I bought this 10mm, it'll do everything I need a handgun to do.
This is a totally great forum, and I owe most of the success of this load to the info I got here over the last year.
