MikedaddyH Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Shot a couple hundred rounds of the converted 40s&w brass rounds with Hornady 124 XTP’s and they cycle flawlessly, Ran the CFE Pistol with Berry FT 124 Thick plated and 800X loads with 124XTP. Had 2 rounds that did not fire with primer strikes and both were Win WSP , every Fed ? went boom ?! As far as accuracy... Matt was ringing Steel at 376 yards with a load using 9.1gr of 800X. I even hit steel at 250 yards. The loads with 9.2gr , 9.3gr & 9.4gr of 800X are stout but not hot . I only used up 5 rounds of SD Ammo I let someone shoot, I probably had 250 to 300 rounds go through the G31 over the weekend. And just 1 box of 357sig brass ammunition and 5 SD rounds. I am very pleased with the formula and process of this 357sig load developement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted June 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) I bought 2000 rounds of 142gr fmj FT bullets this month so I will be developing a load . Hoping to get around 1375 fps that's 808 joules and a TKO of 9.9 , and a Factor of 195. Bullet has a sectional density of .16 To give you guys a reference point I had a warm load with 125gr XTP's that we shot off the top of a mountain ... Was 1525 fps , 875 joules , 9.7 TKO , 191 Factor and 0.14 sectional density. Edited June 23, 2019 by MikedaddyH Decimal point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up on that hill, you said that was a "warm load." I've also shot your "Warm 10mm loads" before, and those fuckers launch brass into the next county and break 2 out of 11 wrist bones on Mere Mortals, every shot... NEXT shot, a couple more, next shot... I can't drive home because my fucking hands don't work anymore... ...Now, you actually ADMIT that you've developed a HOT .357 SIG load... How the fuk you think we're gonna take that Mikey?... Edited June 25, 2019 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fuk you think we're gonna take that Mikey?... Maybe you've got another thing coming ! I shot a lot of rounds that Saturday and took notes . Just to make a comparison between the hot 10mm loads and the warm 357sig loads each has 9.3gr of 800X in them . You guys are going to poop bananas sideways when I show up with a 9 x25 Dillion gun ! That's a fully grown up 357sig round on steroids ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted July 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 The saga continues , picked up 2k of Hornady 142gr FMJ .355" diameter bullets and now I must put together load data on a bullet that has NO printed DATA anywhere ! So I made 100 + with my starting load of 8.7 gr of 800X @ 1.140" with a very light crimp. Using data from 147gr and 140gr charts. Climbing this ladder should be interesting to do. Found a load on GF reloading section that I could emulate ; 140gr FMJ .357 with, 9.0gr 800X @ 1.146" using Remington SRP in a G31 . Velocity of 1406fps. I don't use those primers and my bullets are a smaller diameter. I have a book value for 140gr XTP with 9.5gr of 800X @ 1456fps at 38,000psi so that's going to be the Max load for my Ladder test. Picked up a pound of Longshot yesterday, the numbers look good on load sheets . Maybe faster than 800X. I have seen some crazy max load numbers on this powder on other forums. They are over book value on weight of charge but still under that max pressure of the cases. I will not go there ! 9.1gr to 9.2gr should be about the max load for this bullet with Longshot . Thinking about starting at 8.0 gr of Longshot this should be about 1400fps with 1.140" OAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted July 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Made Some 8.0 and 8.4gr Longshot loads before starting on my "Range load" of 8.6 to 8.7gr of Longshot with CCI 500spp @ 1.140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Made some "Range Ammo" today . 8.6gr to 8.7gr of Longshot CCI 500 SPP Formed 1x 40s&w brass 1.135" to 1.140" OAL Should clock in around 1400 to 1425 fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Ran this through a ballistic calculator and here are the numbers @1425fps Hornady 142gr FMJ .355"diameter 868 joules 10.3 TKO 202 Factor 0.16 sectional density At a cost of about $0.15 each.

MikedaddyH Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Picked up a pound of Power Pistol yesterday and made a range load. This one is in the middle of the load scale. I am using 7.2 grains of Power Pistol ,Federal 40 brass & Federal 100 primers set at 1.135" OAL with the Hornady 142gr FMJ on top. Should clock in a little under 1250FPS. I made almost 500 rounds last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Made up some powder puff rounds for Tom to shoot . Nickle40brass - CFE Pistol 6.5gr - Hornady 142gr FMJ - Federal 💯 @ < 1150 fps. I am not a fan is Nickel cartridges , they are hard and not as pliable as brass and tend to crack when sizing . Also I had had two break and had to remove them from pistol Chambers. One was a Speer SD factory round that almost F_ed up a brand new Storm lake G31 barrel.
