124 gr 9mm w Power Pistol I go with: , 124 gr. plated RN (X-Treme, RMR, Berrys, various brands) 5.3 gr. Power Pistol 1.15 OAL WSP primer Average 1065 FPS (132 power factor if your counting) through full size M&P. Have shot thousands of them. They work for me. Best of luck.

I once read: "The .40 was invented by French women so they'd have something to shoot while their men cooked dinner." Seriously, I like the .40, carry it all the time. I just got a G20 and shoot it better than any of my .40s. I'll probably carry it in the winter. To each his own. In my mind...

I've never used AA pistol powder but AA-2230 has become my favorite for my ARs. thanks, again, guys.

Thanks for the responses, I'm using the same 165 gr bullet as listed in the Speer manual (GDHP). The test firearm in manual is a 5" barrel, S&W M1006. The Glock 20 that I used has a 4.6 inch barrel. My chrony results were: 1,300 FPS for 9.0 gr of Power Pistol versus Speer published data of...

Good morning folks, I’m looking for any input on this subject, Sorry if I’m long-winded here. I recently got a Glock 20 and started reloading 10mm. I made 4 different loads, 2 of plated 180 grains bullets and 2 of Speer 165 gr GDHP. Each of the loads tested higher on the chrony than I’d...

This one works for me, feeds, cycles, and shoots great through all of my 9 mms: 124 gr RN Plated bullet 5.3 gr. Power Pistol Win or Rem spp OAL 1.15 1060 F.P.S.

I've been in contact with Tom. Seems like a real good guy. His fee is very reasonable, too. Again, thank you all for the help with this, much appreciated. Best regards, rope stretcher

Sounds like Dogtown - Tom Hart is the go-to guy. Cheap is good but honest and reliable is better. Thank you all for your input. I'm looking to ship some gear to my daughter and son-in-law, recently relocated to TX, and want to ship to a reputable FFL so that they don't have any hassles and...

I need to ship a few firearms from the Northeast to relatives in Texas. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good FFL/gun shop in the Plano Texas area that I can ship to? I thank you, in advance.

You guys are fast, two responses before I can fire back. The case bulging spooked me a little. i noticed it more on the plated caes over the regular brass, don't know if it's a function of that type of case or just more visible than regular brass. My plated bullets are flat point and the...

Thanks, CZ57, So far I like the Power Pistol, I started out with it because it seemed versatile over multiple calibers. The HS-6 has been fine but there seems to be a finer line between min and max loads with HS-6 versus PP. I'm going to keep the loads middle of the road at least for now. I've...

I'm a new member here, my first post really, except for intro. Outstanding forum. I'll try to keep it brief. Been reloading 9mm and .45 for a bit but have stayed away from reloading .40 because of all the negative reports ("kaboom"). However, .40 brass is plentiful, I've got a couple of .40s...

New member New guy here, thank you for having me. I just started reloading over the past year, mostly 9mm & .45 ACP but just started .40 S&W. When I'd do a search for a question I had, most of the results included an entry from THR. So, this looks like the mother lode of reliable firearms...
