I attempted my first loading of 40 S&W but screwed up my powder weight and did not realize it until I had loaded 50 rounds.
I was using the minimum load in Hornady's 5th edition which is 6.2 grains of Power Pistol to push a 155 grain bullet to 950 fps. I used Acme coated lead RN bullets.
I'm using an RCBS beam scale and brainfarted and set it to 5.2 grains instead of my intended 6.2. I just received a 10th edition of the Hornady manual the day I loaded this and found that the new minimum load is listed as 5.8 grains of Power Pistol for 1000 fps for a 155 grain bullet. Both minimum loads have the same COAL of 1.125", but slightly different speeds.
I'm concerned that if I pull these bullets taht the coated ACME bullet may not be re-usable.
I'm at 1 grain below the old (circa 2000) minimum load and about 0.6 grains below the new minimum load that is set at 50 fps faster than the old load.
As best as your experience can tell will this load be okay to fire through a Glock G27 or should I just pull these and try to re-use the components?
