i just started working up some loads for the golden sabers in 40s&w and was surprised to find that they don't perform well in my xd compact. "surprised" because the factory loads work much better than the ones i am reloading. does anybody have any suggestions that may be specific to this projectile? should i be loading them like regular 40's or does the "driving band" have special needs? i am loading:
180gr rgs
speer case
fed 100 prime
col 1.125"
aa#5, 5.6-6.6gr
aa#2, 4.8-5.6gr
the problem is that the factory loads get 1.5" groups while my loads are more like 4" when tested on a ransom.
any thoughts are welcome also.
