I'm currently running 5.1gr behind a 165 plated bullet in 40 SW.  It feels anemic and I don't have a chrono What are you guys running and how does it chrono?

Fast powders in a high pressure round like the 40 often times will feel like buddy fart loads.  Your load is about 200fps less than max velocity with slower powders.  Enjoy the comfortable ride.  If you want to kick-it-up a notch, getcha some Longshot.

Thank you that's what I was looking for.   I keep Hp38/w231 on hand for 45acp and 9mm  I get great results with it.   I'm not a fan of 40 and I'm trying to burn up the last of my bullets.    I was looking for powders to load 357 Sig and came across longshot.   It looks like it'l work with everything I load for I'm excited about it.

Longshot works great with the .40, and heavy bullet. It sure is accurate.
