I'm trying to find a published load for 40 S&W minor that stays around 130-135 power factor. Maybe 155 grains at 875fps. I'm surprised that I can't find much info on such a load.
3-5 kinds of primers
30+ appropriate powders
dozens of bullets
The math says there would be thousands of possible recipes, but I just can't find enough published data to pull from. Do I search and search for the right data? Or...
Are there secrets about interchangeability that I just don't know yet. For example, are small pistol primers roughly the same? Are there powders that are analogous enough to use that data? Do all bullets of the same weight behave the same?
