What's a good load for IDPA comps?

I'm going to be entering my first IDPA competition in 3 weeks and need to try out some loads. On hand I have some 135, 165, and 200gr bullets. Going to shoot my .40 G23 (its my only handgun). I tried out some 200 and 165 reloads Saturday and was extremely pleased with the accuracy I had with the 165s. The 200 seemed to have less recoil but I'm not sure. The only powder I have on hand is AA#7, do you suggest anything better to use with a Glock?

Any suggestions on a load? Since I have a Glock, I don't want to approach anwhere near a "hot load".

Thanks,
Shane

  My favorite with a 165 gr is 8.2 gr of AA5. This is a full power load. It gives me good results in my Glock 22 and other 40's.

  I have used 7.6 grains of Winchester Super Field ( WSF )with lead 180 gr. bullets. This load worked really well for USPSA. It was very controllable in several differant .40 sw pistols. IDPA has a lower power factor so 7.2 gr. of WSF should do the trick.
