Just remember that bullet seating depth is absolutely critical in .40 S&W. It is a much trickier cartridge to load safely than low pressure cartridges like .45 ACP or .38 SP.

You cannot just blindly substitute a different bullet of the same weight when looking at loading data. The cartridge is so short with relatively high pistol pressures that a 0.10" difference in seating depth can mean the difference between going over the red line or not.

Being careful is always a good idea with handloading, but especially so with .40 S&W.

Good luck.
