I just purchased 1000 Precision Delta 180 grain bullets in .40 cal. I would like to use power pistol and am looking for any "pet" loads that someone might be interested in sharing.

I will be shooting these out of a 4.5 " XDM for 3 gun matches.

hit the reloading section under 40/10mm they lots of info for you, personally i like WST for my 40 loads clean burning, soft felt recoil, and it WAS back before all this craziness only 10 bucks per lb....

I'm using powerpistol for a friends STI limited load, he likes the way it's running.

Precision "black" 185gr moly, 5.1gr power pistol, rem 1 1/2, 1.180 OAL - running about 172 pf I think the last time we chrono'd it.

I shoot a 5" Tactical .40 XD and have had success with this load: 4.3 gr. Power Pistol, OAL 1.30 - 1.33. This is with a 185 gr. Precision Bullet. This same load runs well in my Glock 35. Hope this helps.

Just asking for my own curiosity.

Are you sure about the "1.30" OAL ??

I can't get my STI 40 loads at "1.185" to fit in my glock 22 mags

Thanks

Gotta be 1.130 to 1.133.

I've used 5.0 vvn320 at 1.180 with precision deltas and it worked great from an STI

[Rolex]

I think Glock max. OAL is 1.135

[cameronblue]

XD(m) .40
185 Precision Moly
3.2 Clays
1.135
Crimp .420
CCI 500

Excellent accuracy and soft shooting, but not as soft as I would like it to be.

Try 3.0 clays with all else equal.

I have loaded Power Pistol in 40 from 7.6 grains (very hot!), down to 5.6 grains. Problem is, I never chrono'd any of it. I was using Space Coast Bullets 180 grn trn cn. Shooting them out of an old Springfield P9 Factory Comp.
