Took out my XDS 40 and M&P40C to run through the latest batch of reloads. Not impressive at all.
Did all testing at 25yds using a rest. Wind might have been a factor with a cross breeze at about 10-15mph.
The XDS loves the lighter bullets and I always get much better groups no matter the load. However, with the WSF and 180gr cast boolits, it was disastrous. Actually got key-holing!
Better with the 155gr XTPs and 6.5grs of WSF, but still not as good as my Titegroup loads.
Recoil with both loads was substantial and noticeably sharper than with anything with Titegroup.
The M&P40C did a little better with both 180gr and 155gr.
Shot my favorite Titegroup load at 25yds, then some WWB and some Blazer aluminum cased junk to see how they all compared.
My best group ever at 25yds with the XDS was a little 1 3/4" using WWB. Could not duplicate it today. Fliers kept getting me.
Looks like I'll stick with my Titegroup for now. Which is too bad since I only load for .40 S&W and .45 Colt and WSF isn't listed for any .45 Colt loads. I am considering getting a 10mm, so maybe the WSF will work in it...
