Perfect Ammo from Armscor Precision
Armscor Precision came out with their new nickel cases in .40S&W and .38Super Rimless this year.
For USPSA Limited Class I shoot the EAA Witness Elite Limited .40S&W and for years I've gone back and forth between brass and nickel cases. Well, I'm not doing that any more. Nickel cases are far superior when it comes to smooth feeding in my semi-automatic pistols and spending the extra $7 per thousand for the nickel is well worth it. Besides increased reliability from slicker feeding you'll even save about 6% on powder consumption!

Nickel brass from Armscor reduced my loads from
4.8 grains to 4.5 grains of Hodgdon Clays while
retaining a 950 fps average velocity.

Armscor offers two version of their 180grain bullet.
The regular FMJ and a new "Gold" FMJ which
features a brass coating instead of copper.

Powder: Hodgdon Clays 4.5gr
Primer: Winchester Small Pistol
OAL for 180gr FMJ = 1.200"

The two bullets shot about the same in my guns.
Average velocity = 940 - 950 fps
