Missouri bullet order

[chief99]

Placed an order to Missouri bullets last Friday night. Today the mail lady delivered them to my door. Ordered 500 count of 40 cal. , 140 grain lead bullets. Using bulleye powder . Have the Lee , Speer and Lyman manual , can not find load data for this bullet. Went to the Alliant site , no luck there either. Need help for a good , safe load for this bullet. Usually load plated but wanted to try lead.

2004 Alliant load data has lead loads for 40S&W and Bullseye you can reference - http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=182147&d=1364769070

Went to that site. The closest I found was a load for 155 gr. lead bullet , using 4.9 grains of bullseye .Nothing on the 140 gr. Missouri lead bullet in 40 cal.using bullseye .Keep hoping RCmodel will get in on this. He has helped me a lot in the past !

Anyone know if this is more than their military discount?

BTW, I usually use W231/HP-38 for my 40 lead loads but got good results with Herco and Missouri 180 gr bullet on this thread - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=743416

Accurate and Western have data for 140 grain cast.

Mil & THR discounts are the same.

 

[Vern Humphrey]

Can you combine military and THR discounts?

 

[moxie]

I don't believe so, but you could ask. If the answer is yes, please let us know.

I think I saw in their Q&A section, "NO".

Rats! There's always a catch.

We have a cave here -- Blanchard Springs Cavern -- that is one of the largest caves in the country. We like to take visitors there. The Forest Service runs the cave and their policy is Purple Heart holders get in free. They even issue a special Purple Heart ID, so you can go as many times as you like.

I went down with the orders for both my Purple Hearts and asked if I could get an ID for my wife, but they said no.

I load them with 5.0 grains of bullseye at 1.115. Chrono at 1075 FPS. Extremelly accurate

these loads are for the 135 grain. The 140 is 8 percent heavier. If you drop the charge about .5 to .75 grains you should be right in the ballpark.
