Ok, I am modding out my XD45 and putting a 400 Corbon barrel in it. Does anyone have any experience reloading 400 corbon and will any 40 cal bullet work?? Also, where can I get a set of dies for the 400?? Thanks for the help.

and yes any 10mm or .40 cal should work

I highly recommend AA#7. Would suggest that you use small rifle primers. Wouldn't go over 180gr. bullets, but you'll probably find that 135-165gr work best.

If you're planning on using a double-stack mag, you'll probably find that the rounds will nose-dive into the feedramp. There's also a potential setback problem, due to the small neck bearing surface.

I'd only use cannelured bullets (you'd have to cannelure them yourself) and roll-crimp into the cannelure. The RCBS .400 Cor-Bon seater/crimp die roll crimps.

Here's a visual on the joys of reloading .400 Cor-Bon:
