I ran them in my Sig 229... in my Glock I have the Federal HST and I think they are 180grThe .40 can be loaded to almost 10mm velocities, it is after all just a shortened 10mm case.
But in the shorter case, to get those velocities you wind up with pressures higher than 10mm, so you have to be careful and you wind up with more battering and wear.
Personally I am just fine with standard .40 loads - the 180 gr. loads @ 1K fps are very close to the .45 ACP 185 gr loads at the same velocities, with less recoil.
