.40 135Gr Rainier Loads?

[Danman8520]

Hey guys, Could I have some of your loads for the .40 S&W 135Gr Rainier Bullets or similar. I’ve got some Titegroup on hand but will be heading out to pick up different powder soon. I am mostly plinking and prefer accuracy to velocity. Thanks in advance

I just checked all my reloading data and can't find anything for a 135g load other than JHP. I thought it was funny when I read your post that you were saying 135g bullets.

Sorry I can't help!

Start with data for 155 Gr. That will be safe and get you real close. Go from there on your own judgement. I have settled on 180 Gr plated bullets at leisurely velocities for most of my .40 Plinking.

The Lee Second Edition has a bunch of 135gr jacketed loads. I've used these before, but you have to do a work-up. I think I ended up going with 10gr of 800X. Just reduce 5% off of Lee's listed starting load and you should be okay.

The Hodgdon site has the info you seek.

Try looking for data on Bullseye and I think W231. I like the 135gr Rainiers. They are a great .40 plinking load.
