    .40 S&W - Smoker Load!

    DO NOT for one second think this a "safe" load for your handgun. You MUST backoff some and work back up. Your handgun MAY NOT handle this load. It could frikkin KILL YOU.

    Clear enough?

    165gr Plated (Frontier metal company, South Africa) Round Nose Flat Point
    8.2gr Hodgdon Longshot Powder
    CCI Small Pistol Magnum Primers
    1.125 C.O.A.L.


    I chronographed this load at 1220 FPS out of a 4.7" barrel.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    I was specifically asked to develop it.

    Yep I'd use a Glock for that. No use taking a chance with a nice pistol.

    Sorry guys, but right now I just don't feel comfortable sharing further information on the load or it's uses.

    Besides, too many milkheads reading these posts that couldn't give a shit about learning.
