Griz44, do you load for .40 if so what recipe do you use?

I load 40 S&W with 180g Hornady XTP using Magnum primers and 4.3g of Titegroup.
For my Taurus PT, it is accurate and burns pretty clean.
My son also shoots the same reload.
For cast lead of the same weight, (practice and plinking) I use 6.6g of Power Pistol.
Most of what I shoot is 45, so the 40 is not a very regular loading for me.

This should probably be in the reloading section, but it's a great question.
During the shortage I used magnum primers for almost everything because that's all I could get for a while.
Back the load off about 10% and carefully work your way back up while watching for high pressure signs.
It is safe to use magnums, just use common sense and start low.
I have since used magnum primers in many of my loads that are not normally magnum primed, because I like the ignition better and I can use a touch less powder without paying any more for primers.
