Hello all. I was looking over some reloading data from a John Taffiin article on the .40 S&W and had a couple of questions you may be able to help with. First one, he referenced AA7 powder. Is this the same as Accurate No. 7? If so, then here is the second question; He mentions using 9 grains of AA7 with a Sierra 180 grain hp. In looking up current load data from Acccurate their max is 8.5 grains with this bullet. So, is this a +P type of load or was he just exceeding max and getting away with it? I have always tried to err on the side of caution/safety and really don't feel like blowing anything up.....like.....me. I wasn't sure whether to look at this as a "Ruger only" type of load or an Elmer Keith more is better (aka little guy syndrome) type of load?
Thanks in advance for any responses. Well, any helpful responses. If you feel compelled to jump in with some smart a$$ remark....DON'T. Keep those to yourself. This is a legitimate question and I am trying to verify safe info.
