Another episode of Speeds, Feeds and Ballistics this time with 40S&W. Much like the first video of testing 10MM through a pistol and carbine we put 40S&W through the same test. But this time I have a little bit of a surprise for everyone and no it is not the fact that I shot my chronograph.



Will Caliber Wars ever come to an end? So far I have tested 10MM and now 40S&W next up 9MM. Is it really true that with the advancement in bullet technology caliber doesn't matter anymore?

So what do you think is the ideal barrel length for 40S&W? Leave your comments below.
 
I like .40 and 10mm best, can't go wrong with them. Some years ago I shot a rod on my Chronograph at the time, bent it some but not as bad as yours and it really threw off the readings. Both 180gr HST and Gold Dot are great .40 options, but keep in mind that factory ammo typically uses faster burning powders so you won't see a huge gain in velocity with a carbine. Handloading and using a slower powder would boost velocity a lot.
