I hear that a lot too but I think that has more to do with launching platform then the bullets themselves.I have read articles and spoke with people that claim the 45 acp has a better inherent accuray than the 40.
There's a LOT of 6" 1911s and tricked out raceguns shooting .45 and I'd say most of the .40 guns out there are Glocks and other "duty weapons" which are clearly not as accurate as competition guns.
Also, I've found that 180gr .40 just doesn't shoot as well as the lighter ones ... and since 180gr is the most common weight for .40 (because the 10mm was built around a 180gr bullet, and the .40 is the stepchild of the 10mm) I think most people's experience with .40 is with 180gr bullets.
