Load #2 is 155gr Berry’s over 8.5gr of Longshot. 1.135coal. Mixed brass.
Velocity for both loads should be well below 1200fps.
I don't have any tested Titegroup loads, but I did test some 155gr jacketed bullets with Longshot. Longshot works well with 40s&w. I have a feeling your 8.5gr Longshot load could be over 1200fps. Plated bullets just starts acting weird when you push them close to their velocity limit.
