As someone who shoots a lot of .40 for competition, I can wholeheartedly recommend you read Frank James’ post on reloading the .40 S&W cartridge.

    or, why not to reload the .40 S&W.

    No problems thus far with WSP primers, R-P cases, min charge of W231, and 180gr FMJ in my G22. But then, I don’t reload my brass more than twice.

    Care must be taken with ALL handloads. A progressive in the hands of a neophyte is a recipe for disaster.

    Nobody should be allowed to buy a progressive until they have a single stage or a turret for 1 year.

    4.7 grains of bullseye behind a hand cast 180 grain truncated cone bullet, and watch the seating depth.
