Due to a lively gun auction recently, I am the owner of a hi-point .40 S&W. Factory ammo is expensive, and currently very hard to find. I decided to start loading my own.

I have some experience loading rifle cartridges, but never handgun. Any tips on powder types, preferred loads, bullet weights, etc.

I pan to use this mainly as a carry gun, but would like to take it handgun hunting this fall. Please no comments about what gun would be better, yardage, or anything else. I have already been put through the wringer on another part of the site.

My biggest concern is accuracy. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
