I have found I prefer the recoil of a 40 and shoot it better than a 9. Why? I don't know but I do. For that reason I am considering a .40 as my next purchase.
I joke about this to my wife and 12 yr old daughter. I'll probably end up loading some .45 ACP "for later" the first time a boy comes to pick her up. They don't see the humor in it as much as I do!
Using 125g LRN from MBC and 4.0g of W231, OAL of 1.50 in a Glock 17. No leading issues and accurate. 4.3g works well too and can't tell a difference between the two loads accuracy wise.
OK, the last three posts clear up some questions I had concerning the 9mm cast bullets. I have been loading .45 cast lead bullets for about a year using the Lee FCD and have had no issues with leading in my 1911. Looking at the pressures developed by the 9mm and the 45 I now have a better...

Everything I load for the 45 is lead. When I decided to go with the 40 as well is when I ran into data issues, hence the purchase of more reloading manuals (Lymans). What I have on hand is Bullseye, W231 and Power Pistol. Only been reloading for about a year and its been most enjoyable and...
Wow, no one loads a 140g lswc? I load 185 and 200g for my 45 depending on what I am competing in for the weekend. The .40 is going to to be my Steel Challenge and USPSA gun when I am not shooting SS with the .45.
I have my Lymans 49th on the way as I am looking to start reloading for a 40. I cant find any data for a 140g TCFP from Missouri Bullet. Anyone have a starting point while I am waiting for my latest manual to get here?
