"Given that these would be light loads there's the possibility of seating the bullet out far enough that it actually headspaces on the rifling lead."

That sound like an even better idea-NOT.

You don't have capacity equal to a 10mm case when seating the bullet out because the web is different (read thicker) on a .40 S&W case.
