I shot some 180 gr. FNGC with hot Longshot loads out of the hefty SP101. It was very salty and that weighs as much as a Glock 21!
Last time I had a 360J I even loaded some powder coated soft lead 200 gr. at 650 fps. THAT was salty too! Goofy idea anyway. I thought of the old backward HBWC filled with hot glue for fun. That might be interesting.
I've always admired your devotion to the mean little 340. I just needed a hammer to thumb. That WC820 is close to H110 in burn rate (surplus .30 Carbine powder). I had a 637 that I really liked too. The sub 16 oz. range is my happy spot. My .380 Kahr weighs about the same as the 340/360, 11-12 oz. empty. It has 7 ready to go and I carry the longer 7-shot extra mag. for back-up.
Do you carry an extra speedloader, or strips? The HKS are fine for me, I have several. I'd rather twist than have it pop rounds out in my pocket.

- Notice the 125 gr. 150+ fps gain with Viht N110? - WB, 2026-07-15, 13:23

That's blistering performance for a snubby

I think there were 2-3 different production runs of W820.
