I've used HS-6 in the 45 and 38 spl. I don't own a 40, but it should work. It burns clean, its consistant and you can get accurate loads that are a bit faster than with bullseye or 231.
I am an old reloaded and haven't spent any time on working up loads for pistols so I don't know much about the newer powders.
