Looking for help (info) reloading 40SW

[Shootfirst]

I can not figure out how many grains of powder I should use when reloading Hodgdon HS-6 powder and Speer TMJ FN 180GR in 40 S&W brass. A friend of mine grabbed the the bullets knowing I was looking for some, and I was thankful but they are the wrong ones. I can't figure it out. I would be greatful for any help. Thank you

From Speer #13:

Min - 7.3gr
Max - 8.2gr

C.O.A.L. - 1.120"


ETA: These charge weights are about 1gr higher than the ones listed for other 180gr bullets on the Hodgdon site ( http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp ). Start low, work up, and watch for pressure signs.
