Good target bullet for 40 S&W?

I have reloaded around 1000 or so 40 S&W loads. I am currently out of bullets and need to make another order. I want to order in bulk and I need your feedback on what weight is best for target shooting. My last order was for 165 grain TMJ's and I liked the results. What are your weight preferences and bullet type for target shooting? (Jacketed Bullets only)

I have had excellent accuracy with Montana Gold Bullets in both 165 and 180 gr. The people at the company are great to work with, their products are superior, and prices are very competetive.

I tried attaching a file of what some IPSC target shooters use; for your reference in case you want to try lead bullets. However, it wouldn't let me since I already uploaded it to:

My GLOCK's like 165gr JHP's best. I usually order from Midsouth Shooter Supply and do a pick up, saves on shipping and any Haz-Mat fees.
My bullets of choice are Magnus 165gr JHP's.

I've used Nosler 170 gr JHPs with good results in my Browning HP, but, for the absolute tightest groups on paper, it loves 135 gr bullets. Unfortunately, I lost some of my records (old targets) in a move and can't remember the specifics, but try a box of lightweights in your weapon. If you're just plinking and it'll shoot them well, they recoil noticeably less. If I don't use it for anything else, this is the pistol I always use to renew my CCW license.

I just started reloading some Nosler 135 grain JHP's. I shot some yesterday out of my Beretta CX4 40 S&W and loved the results. They produced even tighter results than my ordinary 165 gr load.
