Jeff Maass has a great resource for IPSC Loads in .40 . I am sure there are a few that will work for you .

I've referenced that data many times for the .40sw. It's a great resource and good reading for anyone wanting to shoot .40 major.

 I'm looking for a minor load. Not a bunny fart load, just a good load to start with as I'm new to the pistol games. That and a load that is clean.

I did look at Jeff Maass info and did find lots of good loads there,

I used Handloads.com a lot to research load data:

Also what is the difference between a bunny fart load and a minor load?  I thought major PF was a bunny fart load?? :)

For me, I was thinking a bunny fart load was a very weak load. Minor load was more then a bunny fart load. I guess I'm still behind the curve in the pistol world.

I have had a little time to look at the Longshot loads and the 3N37 in both 180 gr and 200 grain loads. I like what I'm seeing with both of them.
