Need help on some 40cal. data

[Grassman]

I know what your thinking, look it up on the internet fool. Well I have and I can't find anything good. I'm looking for some load data on some .40 cal. 175 grain SWC lead cast bullets. Preferably for Unique, or Titegroup or SR 7625. Anyone out there load these? Thanks.

maybe check reloaders nest or acurate reloading forums.

Having trouble finding 175 grn data, is that an uncommon weight?

Sorry, no Unique, or Titegroup or SR 7625, but hope this helps

For .40 S&W Laser Cast 180 gr the 2001 Alliant Reloader's Guide lists 5.5 gr MAX for Unique with MIN AOL of 1.125". Be careful using 175/180 gr bullets since AOL is critical and too much setback can cause a Kb. Get a Lyman Reloading Handbook.
