It helps to know what goals you want accomplish with it. Such as, purpose, range that you expecting to shoot, level of experience shooting smokeless powder, what bullets, powder, primers you have on hand now, etc.
Also, what priming system it has, barrel length and profile, powder chamber size, twist, scope being used, etc.
Knowing these things, others will be able to offer more specific recommendations that should get you on the right track for success. I really like this caliber, just finished up another one today.

There are loads listed below in past discussions for your encore barrel, I don't shoot light bullets in my .40s but I do know guys use the 225 or 228 HC and 56-58 grains of 4198 with good success. the 250 is also a good bullet but I'm not sure on a charge
A member just brought it to my attention that I listed the 228 HC as an option, I think he is correct, the 225 should do fine at the speeds you will be shooting.
I will leave it in the post.
