What’s better 40 grain or 38 ?

Usually 40 grain copper or nickel plated round nose feed the most reliably. Ymmv, but depending on the gun design / quality control and your specific gun feed ramp / magazine feed lip / magazine spring pressure / bolt speed (changes due to friction and powder load and projectile mass) / ammunition consistency different loads are gonna cycle more or less reliably in your gun. I don't really trust anecdotal stuff about not even trying certain loads. Imo it's better to buy a box of everything that remotely interests you to run in your gun and just try them out. Worst case you get valuable jam clearing training, best case they run fine in your gun and you know what to stock up on.
