Load data for j-words list 7.5gr-8.5gr of HS-6 should do nicely. Hodgdon Longshot is another good powder for Major PF for .40 S&W. Personally HS-6 meters better for me. Blue Dot is another good choice, buts tends to be smokey.

Lymans 4th edition Cast handbook:
150gr 401654
Win 231 5.5gr-6.5gr 1195fps and 22,500 CUP
HS-6 7.5gr-8.8gr 1224 fps and 23,500 CUP
Blue Dot 8.3gr-9.6gr 1171 and 22,800 CUP

Persoanlly I'd go with 231 or HS-6. One minor problem with HS-6 is if it doesn't have enough pressure it won't burn clean.
Good luck and post your results.

Lesson learned? I always find a load in one (or two) of my manuals before I buy components (even now with hard to get stuff)...

No offence meant, Dom...
