The loads are pretty accurate, little bit more so than factory loaded AE. I have only reloaded the brass once so I cannot comment on longevity, but after firing the brass twice (once factory, once reloaded) there is a noticeable bulge where the case lacks support from the barrel. I am not sure how many reloads are recommended for 40 cal brass fired in Glocks
Reloads in your 40 S&W Glock?

I shoot a gen 4 Glock 35
My load is Campro 180 grain TC with CCI primers and 4. something grains of Winchester 231.
Sorry, I'm not home to look this up, but i did a number of loads starting around 3.9 grains and increased .2 grains per group up to the max load that I found for similar bullets. I'm sure i ended up around 4.4 grains 231 which had less recoil than facory loads but the 231 had more muzzle flash.

I load 4.8 grains of Titegroup under a BDX 180g and a CCI small pistol primer. This load is for my wife's G22 Gen 3 and my STI Edge, make's an IPSC power factor of about 174 in her Glock so it's good major load. No issues with brass life, and I use an EGW sizing die to size further down the case to remove any possible bulge by an unsupported chamber. I know other IPSC shooters who use this load too.
