Okay, so I am getting hooked on reloading! So far I am loading .45acp, .38 Special and .357 Magnum all of which have been pretty simple and user friendly for the most part. I am considering buying an XD .40 but from what I have read so far, the .40 S&W seems to be a little different beast that the cartridges that I have worked with to this point.
I have a few questions about the .40.
In some guns .40 has a reputation for Kabooms. Is the .40 more prone to pressure spikes than other calibers?
Is .40 harder on brass?
Is .40 considered a straight-walled cartridge like a .45acp and does it use the same style of taper crimp?
Does the .40 use a large or small primer?
What would you all say are the do's and don'ts of reloading this cartride?
I am interested in using cast lead bullets in either 155 or 180 grains and either Bullseye or Unique powder. Any help is very much appreciated.
