thanks guys.

looks like 165gr and 180gr are the more popular weights.

a quick browse through the Cabelas catalog shows mostly 180gr loads.

I hope this helps.
Self-defense: 165 gr Gold Dot
Casual target practice: what ever is cheapest
I don't shoot in competition.

yes, that does. Especially since I like Gold Dots :-)

I'm curious what the 40 S&W users prefer for bullet weights in factory ammo for:

1. self-defence

2. casual target practice

3. competition target practice (IPSC, IDPA)

I don't currently use/carry/reload 40, so I'm starting from the beginning with this calibre.

thanks
