And Remington Nylon 66, but for now, loading .40 S&W at Hodgdon's recommended maximum of 5.9 gr of Titegroup under Barry's 155 gr round nose hollow base plated bullets delivers 1450 fps from a barrel lapped with Dave Tubbs' lapping bullets.
Average velocity with the recommended minimum load was 1380 fps. FWIW, using Barry's plated bullets in the lapped barrel, I got no evidence of the plating failing even at the maximum velocities.
Notes on the Remington: The gun makes extensive use of plastic (Nylon, duh) which at 104 degrees is a bit soft. The scope will hold a zero as long as you handle the gun carefully and don't bang it around, otherwise it walks all over the place.

Trivia re Nylon 66: To load as a single shot, turn gun on side and drop a cartridge into the ejection port. Cycle action rapidly. Cartridge will fall into the receiver and chamber.
Only semi-auto I've ever seen that will do that.
