So, I decided to start reloading 400 Corbon using some existing components I use for .40 S&W. This, I have discovered, has become quite a problem. The load data for this particular cartridge is scarce and what is available doesn't cover anything that could be described as comprehensive.
I'm currently stocked with some N320 powder and more than a couple 180gr projectiles (and yes, I have read the warnings about using 180gr. and while it is said to load with caution, it is still a capable loading).
From what research I've done on a wide range of cartridge loadings comparing N320 with other powders that use either close to the same or the same amount, I have found the N320 loads close to Bullseye, AA#2, Universal, and Red Dot (in that order from closets to least close).
With what I've found the loading for a 180gr should be 5gr of N320. With 400 Corbon being a high performance round and with the 180gr being the extreme end of the performance envelope, "should be" doesn't really cut the mustard.
So my question is does anyone have any tried and true reloading data on this mix or at least some data that would support what my research has provided. Also, any other compiled data with any other gr/powder mix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.
