These are a few of the top loads I have found using 165 Rainier HP bullets.
40 cal top load: 7.5 gr. HS6, 165 Rainier HP bullets, Fed primers, OAL 1.125

Other 40 cal loads: 3.7 & 3.8 gr. Clays shot very good, very mild practice load *** 3.9 & 4.0 did not shoot so well
Other 40 cal loads: 7.5 gr., 7.6 gr., 7.7 gr., Longshot, all shot very well, very snappy defense loads
