I am looking for an accurate reliable load yielding at least 700 fps (126pf).

I prefer W231 and option of Solo 1000
Less good option Bullseye

Glock 35

A quick glance at Lyman #49 only shows Bullseye and Clays starting loads giving anywhere close to that 700 FPS.

4.2 Bullseye = 665.
3.3 Clays = 641.

I'm getting 850-875 fps with 4.0g Bullseye out of a 4.25" M&P40 (depending on the temperature) using Lee 401-175TC's seated to 1.135" 3.8g BE still got up in the 840-850 range.

I averaged 712fps with 3.8g Red Dot and a very light recoil. Don't go below that or you might get FTE's or last round not locking the slide back once in a while.

For 40S&W, Lyman #49 used .401" groove diameter test barrel (page 362) that was 4" long and .401" sized lead bullets for their load data, and often shows higher start/max powder charges than other load data.

If you are using .401" sized lead bullets in .400" groove diameter barrels, I would reference 1999 Winchester load data - http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=159609&stc=1&d=1329800605

Missouri 180 gr TCFP bullets with 3.8-4.1 gr of W231/HP-38 at 1.125" OAL produce mild recoil and accurate loads.

170 gr Lead W231 Start 4.0 gr (850 fps) 22,800 PSI - Max 5.2 gr (1030 fps) 33,200 PSI

200 gr Lead W231 Start 3.0 gr (700 fps) 21,100 PSI - Max 4.0 gr (850 fps) 33,200 PSI

Of course, to verify the velocity in your G35 with longer barrel, you would need to chrono the load.

I am currently loading W231 at 3.8g and it is accurate and soft - but I need to run it on the chrony.

MY cast lee 175tc with 3.8 bullseye seated at 1.098 is runnung an average of 831 fps out of my G23 with storm lake barrel

I get 822 FPS with a 180 grain plated 4.5 W231 @ 1.125
out of an XD40
