I was wondering what people are using for bullet weight in both 40 minor and 40 major? Would 200gr bullets be worth trying or would 180gr be good for both?

I would be using it in a cz75sa in .40
 
i have a glock 22 that i used to use 155 grain my shots not good and were everywhere i started using 180 grain bullets the thing shoots beautiful. i am using copper plated bullets the 155 where berrys good bullets wrong weight on my part. i think my 180gr is aim i get it from the local gun store.
 
Try 165gr and 180gr and see what works for YOU and YOUR gun. Talk to Jody and see if he has some input on it.
Did ya get your SA yet? Did ya get my email with instructions? Where the hell is 'thank you'? LOL
 
The most popular bullets in .40 S&W are in the 180 grain range, but either choice will serve you just fine depending on your preference. The lighter bullet tends to yield a snapper, more violent recoil pulse but the gun snaps back to point of aim very quickly. The 200 grain bullet is relatively speaking , a little softer/slower feeling in recoil, but with more muzzle rise. Being less violent, it is easier to track the sights in recoil.

Chances are, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference or the advantage/disadvantage of one over the other until you have many thousands of rounds down range.

My suggestion would be to pick one that is readily available and work up a good load for it, then just get out and shoot it as much as you can.
 
I would suggest the 180gr BDX bullet,...loaded over some new brass, using CCI or Federal SPP....;)
