I have been getting my 40 ready for Kansas. Shooting Pittman 228s and Parker 250 Match Hunters. Both shoot well under an inch from my 700CF with Hanks prefit.
Looks like the smooth sized 250s are pretty happy over a wool wad and duplex of 4759 / Varget. FPS coming in at 2722. The 228s are shooting 2764fps with a light load of H322.

Good stuff bud, happy hunting. I’m continuing my testing with 200gr Hornady HAP, getting 2700fps and sun-MOA with a starting load of 4138. Looking forward to introducing it to a deer or two in another month :-)

Yule,
Those seem like excellent loads. 60-62g H322? I use a duplex of VV110/Varget with a 225.

Thanks SEW
You are right on with H322 at 62 grains.
Is your 110/Varget load in the 5/65 range?

Warning!! Likely too hot! 7/70, VV110/Vgt , an RB 209 BP in a 26” PN 40. 2950, 225 smooth sized. No chamber. Well sub 1/2 MOa. Have dropped to 6/65 but have forgotten the speed - think 2830.
