- #You mentioned "Major load". I'm assuming IPSC 175. To do this safely in
- #the .40 S&W and without risk of coming in Minor after a match, you really
- #need access to a chronograph. AA#5 should be fine. I intend to work up a
- #175gr LSWC load with it myself. I'm currently using W231 but it's hot and
- #I don't care to mention the charge weight. Good luck.

- Yes, I did mean ISPC Major. I'd like a chronograph, but the ranges where
- I currently shoot all have florescent lights -- I understand that a chrono-
- graph may not function.
-
- You mentioned some velocity innacuracies in the AA manual -- I noticed that
- they say in their description of AA#5 that it will make Major at 150gr and
- above in 40SW .... but not with my calculator and their velocity figures.
