I,ve been using WSF since I started shooting 180gr,with a 40 STI about 6 months ago,and am running out.I decided to try a few powders,and get some more experience shooting with diferernt powders.Now I ,ve got some Titegroupe and Longshot.Data is easy to find for Titegroupe,but all I can find on Longshot is:180gr
OAL 1.125
8.0gr.
1159 fps.
For those guys shooting Longshot ,what kind of data do you have would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this data will help as I'm shooting the 155gr hornady bullets and my pistol is kinda unique, please use caution with these loads - they are not for everyone.
preface: My .40 S&W is built on a custom double stack .45ACP frame and slide, the barrel is fully supported and the throat has been opened up to allow very long COL seating. The barrel is a tightly chambered and has been proof tested and magna'd. Heavy recoil spring and buffers in use. Mainspring weight and hammer drag have also been increased. I use a baked moly lube on all bearing surfaces, except the sear etc.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE OR NEW TO RELOADING DO NOT USE THIS DATA.
Cases - New Starline .40 S&W, never 1FB unless you fired the first time
Primer - Winchester Small Rifle <----- non standard
Bullet - Hornady 155gr XTP
COL - 1.22" <------ non standard, very shallow seating, approx 1/2 cal seating, use maximum crimp that still allows headspacing
Powder - Longshot - max 13gr
From my 1:16" twist 5" bbl I get around 1500fps

Oh ya this is well into the 10mm territory and kicks and blasts like a mule. I mainly created it because I wanted a 'very' flat shooting .40cal.
While I haven't worked out a proper trajectory for it, I'd say it is easily a 150m PBR pistol.
