in both plain and HP versions. It makes almost a perfect .40 S&W bullet. I also like the custom 200 gr. FPGC at 1000 fps. That's about max. weight for the case and OAL for typical magazines.

They have some very light bullets for the .40 but they are so short they are like flat ended round balls. I'd rather shoot a 9mm if the weights get around 150 gr. or less.

Best STEEL framed 40 out there today? - Dave H., 2019-10-27, 09:08
