Bullet weights from 135 - 200g can all be shot with great accuracy in the 40. You just have to find the right combination of powder and bullet.
There are so many good powders that work well in the 40, it is sometimes difficult to sort out the better ones from the beater ones. I have worked up loads with: 700X; 800X; SR4756; Unique; Red Dot; Power Pistol; WW231; AA5; AA7; Universal; Longshot; HS6; VV N350; VV N105.
FOR HUNTING/PD
For 135, if Power Pistol wasn't so "abusive" and have such high flash, it would do. However, HS6 gave the best acccuracy/velocity.
For 150, Longshot was the clear winner with accuracy load around 1300fps.
For 165, it was a tossup between Longshot and VVN350
For 180, If 800X wasn't so dirty at accuracy ranges, it would be my favorite for 165 and 180, but longshot gives equal accuracy and higher velocities with the 180 and is my choice there.
For 200, N105 shines with accuracy and velocity just under 1100fps.
For medium power targe/plinking loads in 150-180 I settled on Universal.
