Uh oh. You have an uninvited guest? I had to remove an intruder at gunpoint a few years ago. Not a fun situation. Little hair raising!

I ordered 500 of the 180gr HSTs today. Also loaded up about 700 180gr LSWC rounds the past couple days. Should keep me in practice for a little while.

I thought about the 180 gr pills...but I read that the bullets in 155-175 gr range performed a bit better out of the 40 S&W.....all depend son what recipe you like I guess.....shoot straight....shoot often....Paul

I'd like to thank those that helped me out...could use just a bit more help as now I can't find small pistol primers......once again asking for a bit of help.....thanks.....Paul

Can't help you there. I've been using small rifle primers (cci 400) in my 40 S&W for a little while now since I was caught off guard and haven't been able to get any small pistol primers. My loads run towards the minimum recommended charge weights so I had no issues whatsoever swapping in the rifle primers (this is not an uncommon practice in the 40s&w). My .40 is a Para Ordnance and it hits them plenty hard.

Have read that some are using small rifle primers....Not too keen on that practice....My face isn't "pretty" by any imagination....but I sort of like it intact.......

I understand. Safety first.

Its been done for a long time. There is far more difference between different brands of primers than people realize. Here is an example (and this is true of all types of primers). You can see the huge difference from one to the next and these are all small rifle primers. There isn't a lot of consistency in primers. A CCI small rifle primer may actually have less "flash" than a Winchester small pistol primer. It's not uncommon to use small rifle primers in certain pistol cartridges just like it's not uncommon to use magnum primers in place of standard primers for certain loads.

If you are just looking for FMJ Sheels here has a ton of Berry's MFG 155 gr bullets. They had about 10,000 primers and about the same in bullets. If I run out I just run up to Scheels and get more.
