Anyone load 40 S&W's?

[DaveA37]

I picked up a set of RCBS Tungsten Carbide (3 piece) dies in 40 S&W and plan to load for the two Glock 40's I own. Plus, I inherited a huge supply of once fired 40 S&W brass. Anyone have a recipe using 150 or 165 gr bullets?

[dlove]

I really like longshot for the .40. clean powder, shoots well.

 

[chet]

I've had good luck with universal.

you ever hear of "glocked" brass?
sometimes the 40's get a little buldge when fired in a glock..... the sizer will either correct it, or shave it off.

be careful with warm loads, glocks blow up.

 

[FOTIS]

That is because some chambers are unsupported. 10mm are bad for this Hence the bulges.

 

[Wincheringen]

All Glock chambers are unsupported. Glock KBs are mostly isolated to those chambered in the .40 S&W cartridge though.

Stick to mid level loads as max for any brass that is not new, or get a fully supported barrel for your guns. KKM, Lone Wolf, EFK, & Storm Lake are all excellent fully supported barrels and will prevent brass from blowing out. Lone Wolf barrels start at $100.

 

[HTDUCK]

Yeah and they warn you not to shoot cast bullets due to the polygonal rifling.
Nonsense.
My first Glock 22 I used as an IPSC open gun and shot metal matches every other weekend for two years.
I shot over 100k cast 155 lead round nose bullets through on top of 5.0 grs on Win Super Target.
Granted not a real hot load, wouldn't lock the slide open on the last round alot of times, but I never had a KB.

Also, Ammo that wouldn't drop into a Wilson case guage after reloading? Ran fine through the pistol.

 

[Woodycreek]

I use Longshot for the Glock 40s and 10mms. Got more than few Glock 40s and never had one "blow up". They all get hundreds of rounds through them every year. From mild factory or reloads and up to Double Tap loads. All with stock barrels except for a G20 10mm. Most "blow ups" were user error of overcharged reloads, weak recoil spring, poorly inspected brass reloads, or some combination. Then add in an unsupported chamber that only adds to the problem.

 

[meatmachineman]

Almost all of my 40 reloads have been 155, 180 and 185... no 150s or 165s, so I can't help you out on that front.

If I get a chance in the next day or two, I'll try to get a side by side picture of some 40 barrels to show the chambers. I can't speak for other manufacturers of Glock barrels, but I can say the Lone Wolf barrel does not have a fully supported chamber. While it is true it is much better than the OE Glock barrel, it does leave a portion of the web unsupported.

I'll also point out that there is a lot of differing information on Glock barrels w/ lead, brass bulges and kabooms. There are not very many people out there that can offer up clear and definitive reasons, causes and results for these seemingly Glock related issues... only first hand accounts... many times directly opposed to another's first hand experience. So what's the real answer? What should you do? I simply don't know with any amount of certainty. I'd say (and do) just play it safe and minimize the risk factors. Be careful while reloading. A double charge can ruin your day in any gun so start off by being careful. Secondly, inspect your brass. If you see the bulge on a piece, throw it out. We're talking 40SW brass here... it just simply isn't worth gambling with... no matter the cost of brass, but especially at the cost of 40. Third, don't slack on maintenance. A recoil spring is neither expensive or difficult to change. If you have a high round count through the gun or bought a used one with an unknown round count, swap out the spring. Fourth, if you insist on putting lead through an OE Glock barrel, make sure you are using an alloy of a relatively high hardness and don't push them too hard. Also regularly inspect and clean your barrel with a product that works well for removing lead. Fifth, the barrel itself. In my opinion, if you are only shooting factory ammo, just stick with the OE barrel. But you are asking about reloading so obviously shooting reloads is on the agenda. If you will only reload brass that you've inspected and aren't pushing the envelope, the stock barrel will likely be fine if you follow the above precautions. For me, I went for the Lone Wolf barrel. I mentioned elsewhere about a bulged 40 case not being able to chamber in a LW barrel but slid right into a Glock barrel. So just in case I miss something while reloading or the planets happened to align just right, I'll know that I minimized the risks.

 

[Mortis]

I have 2 40's..... both Sigs....a 229 and a 239.

I prefer Universal.... it's fast and clean.

I load 155 grain Hornady XTP's for serious business.... and 140 grain HardCast Round Nose Flat Points for the fun and games time.

 

[HomerOz]

G'Day Fella's,

Dave A 37, I will ferret out the Subsonic load data that I used (180grn bullet), but here is an image of my IMI Jericho in .40 S&W (Short & Weak) and it's Proto-Type suppressor.
I hope to be able to shorten the OAL of this suppressor design, by 40 to 50mm or 1 1/2 to 2".....

Doh!
Homer

 

[FOTIS]

Been thinking about a 40. I do not know why.

 

[tecumseh]

I use power pistol and Accuarte No.5 in my Beretta. I'm using 180gr Speer hp for my burglar loads and 180gr Speer TMJ for practice and plinking loads. I had good results with 180gr Hornady XTP bullets too.

 

[C.Smith]

I liked long shot, both accurate and good speed. But be cautious as stated earlier with warm loads. I shot some max loads in a 10mm that I had worked up in an after market KKM barrel and shot it in the stock barrel. Bad idea. I used one of my lives with that one, did not blow but came as close as you can get.

Corey

 

[HomerOz]

G'Day Again,

Dave A 37,

The load I use in my .40 S&W is as follows;
180grn Frontier CMJ, 4.8grn of ADI AP-70 (similar to Unique), Winchester cases, Federal 100 primer for around 1000fps.
Dave, this is a reduced Subsonic load for the 180grn bullet!

Hope that helps

Fotis, your a shocker but I do understand what you mean!
It's actually a Good Disease!!!

Doh!
Homer
