Looking for Member's .40 calibre Round Ball loads.
#69377 - 12/01/07 08:00 PM

I just re-barreled my longrifle with a Goodeoin match barrel and was wondering what members are using in their .40 cal barrels. I'm not interested in what works in .45's as I already have a MOA (@50 yards) .45 RB barrel.
: I put the .40 on to compete in the Heffley Creek Rendezvous Squirrel rifle match restricted to .40 calibre and smaller.
: BTW - that is a 10 day shoot and get-to-gether - 150 competitors last Sept. It's growning by around 20 shooters a year over the last couple years. Individual clubs present, put on their shoots on specific days. The Heffley Creek boys only supply the range and 1 or 2 competitions. Trap, Ctg. and RB silouette, rifle matches, ML and Ctg. pistol, smoothbore, primitive archery and Cannon matches + special competitions and events for the juniors.
: I'm interested in any .40 cal data you have.

Well I just use 40 gr of Goex 3F and a .390 ball with Wal-Mart 100% cotton pillow ticking as a patch.
I lube with Ox-Yoke 1000+ or Mink oil.
This load in my old 40 cal longrifle used to be able to cut a card or split a ball every time if I did my part. I could do it on demand FROM A REST*. I also used to shoot nickels with it from 25 yds.

(*which proves only the rifle and the load, not any shooting skill)
