155 gr. Remington jhp 40 S&W loads

[grumpy7159]

I have purchased 3000 Remington 155gr. JHP bullets dirt cheap. Does anyone have a suggested recipe for 40S&W using these bullets.

I only shoot very light loads at ca 725 to 750 fps from my S&W646 revolver. The Hodgdon and Alliant websites have loads of data for 40 S&W.

I had a box of hornadys 155 gr. XHP and used the hodgden web site for this load. Winchester 231, 5.0 grs in a glock 22 just yesterday and was comparing these reloads to some factory Federal 180 sp. All reloads functioned fine except the glock didn't eject the brass as well as the factory loads. I was working on some reloads for light practice target loads, also used Unique 5.5 grs with no problems and planning on some more Unique loads for reloads.
