Well, I'm close, the birch bullets I loaded up in the .40 tend not to 
stabilize too well, I can barely keep them on the paper at 7 yards, so i 
need to figure out some way of getting them a little more stable so I 
don't accidently take out the chronograph.  I might just have to move the 
chrony up closer.
The birch bullets weigh in at 12grains, the superlight copper jacketed 
thermoplastic rounds mass in at about 37 grains.  I don't know, but I'm 
guessing they are coming out at a good 3000fps from a 4" _pistol_ barrel.
I can't wait to make loads like this for the 6" .357 revolver barrel.  So 
far I've got 22 grains of VV N110 under a 90gr .355" JHP, which I'm 
hoping will exit at around 2000 fps.  I'm planning on next sunday for the 
chrono trip.  Wish me good velocity. :-)
