hnusz, Hello and welcome to the forum.  The popular bullet weights range for 135 through 200 for jacketed, if you are looking for something to span both 40S&W and 10mm I would recommend the 155, 165 and 180 grain for most uses unless you seek special needs.  180's are very well in both cartridges.

180 is my goto, but a lot of people like 165, too.

I would suggest trying several weights and styles and see what functions with your gun best. You also want to try different powder charge weights working up low to high. You'll find the bullet/ pistol combo will work best at a certain power level. Which is usually not the max load.

This is a target with my Razorback, and my Precision Bullets 185 grain bullets and HP38. 21 feet using a pistol rest and Crimson Trace laser grips. That gun is awesome!
