If you mean how heavy is the bullet in a .40 caliber cartridge, the answer is, it ranges from about 150 grains to about 180 grains.
The outside of the cartridge case is .38. The .357 bullet fits inside the cartridge case.
luger were made to fire a 9mm cartridge or the 30 luger cartridge. a 9mm cartridge will not chamber in a 30 cal luger pistol............

NO,NO,NO,NO,NO.........you CANNOT shoot the 357 cartridge in a 38 special, but you can shoot a 38 special cartridge in a 357 pistol.................the 38 cal. cylinder was not made to house the 357 cartridge or take the pressure.............
a 357 cal. revolver cartridge WILL fit a colt 357 python. Also, a 38 special will fit a 357 cal. python. The 357 sig cartridge will NOT fit a 357 colt python................ The 357 sig cartridge ONLY fits the sig model pistol For clarity.....the sig 357 is a pistol. But, the 357 python is a revolver................
You are probably referring to a 7.65 Parabellum cartridge. See the Wikipedia link below.
40 cal ACP (not CAP) is the same as 40 cal. S&W. ACP refers to 'automatice cartridge pistol' wheras S&W refers to Smith and Wesson, who also make the 40 cal. cartridge....
by reference to 'luger' ammo, one believes it to be a 9mm cartridge, which is the cartrige for the German luger. however, there are many other pistol that were made to fire the 9mm luger cartridge. in addition, the luger was also made in the '30 cal luger' which is a smaller bullet in a necked down cartridge.
The .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) IS the name of the cartridge. It is a bottle necked rimfire cartridge- similiar to a a .22 Magnum necked down to .17 caliber bullet. Bullets used in this cartridge may be several different types, but are typically 20 grains or 17 grains in weight.
First, find a copy of the owner's manual for YOUR pistol. Second, use ONLY black powder, or a modern black powder substitute, such as Pyrodex. The ROUGH rule of thumb is one half the bore diameter in grains of powder. A .32 cal would use ABOUT 12-16 grains of powder.
