Ok I soaked some american rifleman mags over night
Then shot them with my 40 135 JHP load it went like this. No denim to start with. This load smokes Hodgdon Longshot max load but low pressure. It also shoots 10 shot groups of 2.5 inches at 25 yards. Never tuned the load went for power than checked it for accuracy. It was the first time I ever went that way. I always load for accuracy.
