seeking 40 s&w major pf loads for my cz "fyi,use posted data at your own risk"

As the title says I'm seeking some major power factor load data to use in my newly aquired cz 75 sa 40s&w.

The powder I currently have in my stash; clays, wsf, titegroup and hp-38. But depending on the reviews I would be interested in trying new powders if need be.

For the data if u could include the general o.a.l used that would be perfect.

170 g lead and WIN Super field WSF start 5.2g work up to max 6.2g using a chrono
from hod/ win data site max =33200 psi
do up a dummy round at 1.140-1.145 and check it for length
seat and crimp in two stations
med to heavy crimp
work up checking for pressure signs

Montana Gold 180 JHP, 5.7 WSF, 1.135 COL, PF 176
Montana Gold 200 FMJ 5.3 WSF 1.135 COL, PF 178
Both loads are very accurate and work well.
This is in my XD. YMMV

5.0 gr. of Clays will push 180gr Montana Gold at 950fps with 1.2 OAL...

I am gettting 965fps out of my Glock with 4.5gr. Titegroup and a 180gr. bullet. Glocks will have a higher velocity compared to a CZ, might have to try Power Pistol or Longshot in a CZ as the load I use is close to max. Makes PF easily for IPSC shooting.

According to my data tables, 180 with Clays should be a MAX of 3.5 grains. I'd be really careful with this one. Did you mean Universal Clays maybe? I've tried it when I was shooting minor and Clays is such a quick burn rate that it FEELS really soft, but the pressure curve spikes quick. I've heard of some shooters blowing up their guns trying to make Major with Clays. I gave up on Clays because accuracy was poor. Groups were twice as big as with other powders, even if it did shoot really soft.
