I have heard that Federal brand has strengthen their case walls for the .40 caliber in the early 90s(?) to help prevent Kabooms. And that Glock have increased their case support in their barrels (around 2002?) to also help prevent Kaboom issues.
Q. Is the above historically accurate?
Q. Have any other ammo manufacturers also made changes in their case wall or amount of powder in their .40 cartridge?
Q. Did manufacturers reduce the powder amount in 180 grain ammo to accommodate for the larger bullet size? (Versus other .40 weights)
