Thanks for all your help and answers. I have several more questions that have arisen since. Rivers, you made the comment that you would not reload .40 cal. why is that? What is the 6 o'clock bulge? Also, I am looking at the different types of bullets to use for reloading. I am leaning toward fmj, but I came across a good deal on some hard cast lead bullets. I have heard that lead bullets do not work as well in a semi-auto due to problems with catching and deforming on the ramp. Have any of you had the same issues, or are they feasible bullets to use? Thank again for all your help
