[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3029796, member: 5316"] For what "I think" is your intended application, try Gold Dot or HST in 180. While I haven't done extensive testing in .40, I have tested quite a bit of 9mm with a ransom rest. Self Defense ammo is usually much tighter grouping than most other ammo and the pins react very well with a 180. Gold Dots are available for hand loading if recoil management becomes an issue with the factory load. I'm getting great pin reaction with a 180 grain Montana Gold bullets running 950-975 fps. The reaction was not as good with 900-920 fps loads. I actually changed and tested mid match last year and you can see it in the videos. The factory Gold Dot would be just north of 1000 fps but I like the bullet profile better than the MG bullet. I ordered some GD bullets to handload a few days ago just for this. I'll likely compare the two with a ransom rest, but I doubt I do much ladder testing. Just don't tell Glenn our secret! Rick [/QUOTE]
