I've got some Nosler 180 JHP's and Hornady 200 XTP's I want to use in my G40 for whitetails. I've used 9.4 BD with the XTP's with good results. What's your recommendation for powder and charge?
I have Loaded the XTP with 10.6 grains of Blue Dot and 1.26" using 22 lbs recoil springs in the S&W1006 & G-20 factory barrel...
Stock Glock 40 10mm all groups @25 yards I could cover with the palm of my hand. I like Blue dot more than #9 so far, less grains of powder with faster fps and less stress on the brass at least in my gun.
200gr. Acme TCFP
9.6 grs of Blue Dot
Average 1231 fps
Low of 1211 fps
High of 1243 fps

High of 1326

Thanks for posting this I am trying to decide on a hog load and am leaning toward the XTP 180. Only PISTOL I am loading for is .45ACP and using PowerPistol.
