I have Magtech Bullets 40 S&W, 10mm Auto (400 Diameter) 180 Grain Full Metal Jacket Bag of 100
Product #: 986504

And Winchester WSF powder and Win small pistol primers my lyman 48th book does not list a load for 180FMJ only 180HP and 190FMJ so im not sure what to go with im just getting started can some of you guys help me out

I just purchased a .40S&W Shield and loving it just want to shoot it more

I assume you are loading for .40 caliber and not 10 mm then?

Winchester's website says for a 180 gr Hornady XTP should be 5.4 to 5.8 grains of WSF in .40 caliber.


PLEASE confirm this for yourself.

I tried Winchester's site also and saw same wasn't sure since bullets are not Hornady. .. Guess i'll use that data and try 5.5 and its OAL

Most jhp will be a tiny bit longer than same wt jhp. As long as you are around midrange, you shoud be fine using jhp data for fmj.
