Has anyone used this bullet and powder combo for a 40 s&w? I have both green dot and red dot powders. Unfortunatly that is all I can get at this time. The load data I can find is for hornady xtp in a 170 with both powders. Could this data be used being the fact that it will be a lead bullet and not a copper jacketed?

5 grains of Red Dot has been accurate for me with 175s. I use Titegroup because it is just as accurate and cleaner. I've used Red Dot & Green Dot in a fair number of pistol loads with success.
