Nah. Magsafe has a much better balance of mass and velocity. This stuff
would literally blow up on the surface. It's ideal for pagers though.
:-) And bad Qic-40 tapes. And small fruit. :_) I appreciat ethe
encouragement though.
You have to remember though- this is safe _only_ in an HK USP40, and only
if OALs are as specified. Unchartered territory. Take my word for it-
it's like flying a plane: It's fun, rewarding, etc. but terribly
unforgiving of even the least bit of ignorance or complacency. It'll
bite you before you even realise the hammer dropped if you make the
slightest mistake.

I'd try some N330, you'll get better velocity with the regular lead
bullets. Actually, for 155gr and lighter bullets, you are still better
off with Hercules Blue Dot.
The reason I didn't use Blue Dot for the superlight bullets is their was
not enough resistance by the bullet to allow adequate time for pressure
to build up to get a good powder burn. And, unless you really try, it's
not easy to overcharge a .40S&W case with blue dot using 135gr noslers,
as long as you only seat to maximum (1.135) oal. I usually seat them
about 1.140 though, just for a little extra safety. I've heard of people
seating them much shallower when shooting them out of a Para-Ordinance,
allowing for hotter loads. I'm not sure just where the forcing cone
begins to touch the bullet in the USP though, so I'm leaving it alone.
