Thank You very much for the information and your knowledge. I was only using the XTP for an example. I would love to find the bullets that are in the Federal tactical HST. That is the round(formula) that I would love to have. The Rangers look really cool, and very deadly. I am going to take a closer look at the Speer Gold Dot.

OK.... I am a newbe here as you can tell. I know that you are not recemended to reload your defense loads...So please don't beat me up on that... First of all I am very new to reloading, I have a friend that will help me but he is a 44 mag kind of guy. He doesn't know the ins and out of .40 S&W. I am looking for the best defensive round formula I want to use the; Hornady XTP Bullets 40 S&W, 10mm Auto (400 Diameter) 180 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point I really don't know what you guy/gals mean by "minor" and "major" or how to figure a "pf" I am really sorry for being so "uneducated" but I guess I can't learn without asking dumb questions. Thank You Randy
