Looking to pick up a competition gun for the 2018 season in .40 S&W.
I have never been a .40 fan, but I do want to make Major Power Factor, and this seems like the most economical way to get there.
I have been looking around at some of the bullet manufacturers that I normally buy from (RMR, Xtreme, etc.), and the choices for .40 bullets are, as expected, fairly slim pickin's.
I have been moving away from plated bullets lately, although I have been shooting them for years. I like that Jake has some great choices now in jacketed 9mm bullets. It seems however difficult to find jacketed bullets in .40 without going somewhere like Hornady or one of the other big (expensive) names.
Those that load for .40, what are you using for bullets?
I haven't decided on a weight yet either, 165 or 180gr. Any comments/recommendations to meet Major PF?
Thanks!
