I've loaded quite a few 45 Colt cartridges with 40gr and a 235 RNFP. I do however use 3f powder instead of 2f as well as a Montana Precision compression die. I prefer the die over the plug because it's easier for me to adjust the compression depth.
Personally I don't see much purpose for loading 40gr other than to get an idea of what the original ammunition was like to fire. If I were to use it for a bear gun up in the mountains I'd consider it, but other than that I actually prefer loading "Gallery Loads". 20gr 3f, veggie wad, fill to the top with corn meal, compress to depth and seat a 150gr RNFP Big Lube. Wickedly accurate, little to no recoil and easier on the wallet powder wise.
