Shooting at the range and picking up brass after IDPA and USPSA matches, I'm starting to acquire quite a bit of .40 caliber brass. This gives rise to the question: Should I sell the brass or buy some dies and a new gun ? Are there any advantages to the .40 ? More recoil than the 9mm but less than the .45 ? I don't plan on carrying the gun - just shooting it in competition events. I can load up to 147 gr. bullets in the 9mm - which easily gets me to a power factor in major. Minimum bullet size for the .40 is ?
Besides the dies I'd also have start inventorying separate bullets. I haven't done a lot of research, but would hope I wouldn't have inventory totally different powder(s).
Other than just acquiring another gun for the "fun" of it, are there reasons I should consider the .40 caliber ?
Thanks in advance
