40 s&w

[HOT ROD]

I have sum reloading questions. For the more experience reloaders. I am brand new to pistol reloading. I want to order sum bullets for my 40 s&w. And I notice bullets in .400 diameter and .401. So what is a 40s&w .400? Would it be safe to fire .401 diameter in a 40. Any pistol reloading tips. I am all ears. The bullets I want to reload are berrys preferred plated bullets 180 grain flat point. In a glock 22.. Thanks

.401 is standard for 40 s&w

Thanks miller1 for the info. I am not doubting Ur info. But why is there a .400 and .401? My inquiring mind just needs to no.

I think the difference in diameters is because plated bullets are sized at .401", while jacketed bullets are sized at .400". Either will work for you. I load Speer 180s and Hornady 180/200s in my G20.

If you are serious about volume, I would seriously consider a Dillon machine. I load 3-5000 9mm rounds every year on my 550. Great machine!
