I've worked up some reloads for my new 40 Super Barrel in my FNX45 Tactical and was wondering if anyone here had done so with an FNP 45?
Tony Rumore provided me with some intitial load data, however I wanted to use 220 gr X-Treme plated bullets I have an abundance of. First Loads: 135 gr Nosler JHP Winchester Small Magnum Pistol Primers AA #7 Virgin Starline brass OAL 1.250" Sets of five. 13 gr 13.5 gr 14 gr 14.5 gr 15 gr 15.5 gr 16 gr 16.3 gr 16.6 gr 16.8 gr 17 gr 220 gr X-Treme Plated Flat Point Winchester Small Magnum Pistol Primers AA #7 Virgin Starline brass OAL 1.250" Sets of five. 8.5 gr 9 gr 9.5 gr 10 gr 10.5 gr 11 gr 11.5 gr 12 gr 12.3 gr 12.6 gr 12.8 gr 13 gr After sleeping on it, I'm debating pulling the last 20 rds of 220 gr and walking up in .2 gr increments from 11 gr to 12 gr. The maximum AA #7 charge Tony's data showed was for 200 gr XTP at 13.7 gr which produced 1400 fps out of a 5" barrel. I'm not certain a 0.7 gr reduction is enough for the plated bullet and 20 gr of extra weight. The 220 gr plated is only slightly longer than a 200 gr XTP however. I also have a box of Underwood 220 gr Hardcase 40 Super on the way and intend to disassemble one to measure the power charge. Anyone done this before? |
