Looking to start reloading .40. I have Win 231 and Berries Plated 180gr bullets. Anyone reload .40 with this combo?

Nope, but hodgdons pretty much says 5.0 max for JHP, so I'd say less than that. ARe you trying to reload for major PF, or are you just looking for a light load for plinking? For minor power factor, I'd try something like 3.9gr and see how it works and chronos. For major, I'd try 4.8 and see if it makes it.

I haven't used Berry's, but I load 180gr FMJ with 4.7gr HP38 (same as 231) at COL: 1.125. You can knock it down a notch to 4.5gr with Berry's.

Cool, thanks guys..

The load data I sent you is almost the same as this. I use 4.8 of 231. It's like a cream puff.
