The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Best .40 Factory Round for SD (165gr JHP vs 180gr JHP)

When the GunBlast website reviewed the S&W M&P 40, they tested it with all of the various CorBon loads, and chronographed the velocity they produced. Here are the results:

Load Velocity
Cor-Bon 165 grain JHP 1147
Cor-Bon 135 grain PowRBall 1337
Cor-Bon 135 grain JHP 1334
Cor-Bon 140 grain DPX 1256
Cor-Bon 150 grain JHP 1157

The two 135 gr loads produced the greatest power, over 530 ft/lbs of energy with either load.
