In general, stick with heavy for caliber loads from the following manufactures and if you prefer a middleweight bullet, upgrade to a bonded version of that load to ensure adequate penetration:

* Winchester Ranger T or Remington Golden Saber
40 S&W = 180-gr. (Both Regular or Bonded) and 165-gr. Bonded Only

* Federal HST
40 S&W = 180-gr. Standard Pressure and +P

* Barnes:
40 S&W = XPB 155-gr. +P Copper Jacketed Hollowpoint

* Speer Gold Dot (Bonded): Also loaded by Double Tap, & Buffalo Bore
40 S&W = 165-gr. +P and 180-gr. +P
