Opinions on this 40 load?

[jim8115]

Got some zero 165 JHP.Loading with Power Pistol . The closest published data I could find was speer
They show 7.0 (978 fps) to 7.8 ( 1081fps)
I decided to go with 7.1. They feel pretty stout, and chrono at 1100 FPS from my XD40. They are extremelly accurate.

Any opinions ? is this too hot?

Looks fine to me.

Alliant's website says 7.8 with a 165gr GoldDot. I'd say go with it if it is working for you. The max numbers they list I sometimes wonder about though. They list 9 grains for the 155 GoldDot. I once attempted to work up to that using Montana Gold bullets at max OAL. At around 8.5 grains I was already FAR exceeding the velocity they list for their max. I stopped there.
