When I was reloading 9mm I bought some magnum primers by accident as well. Being cheep, I decided to research how I could use them. All of the sources recommended started with powder loads 10% lower than normal and working up. I was using HP-38 powder. At 3.9 gr my Beretta Nano wouldn't cycle reliably. As I worked up 4.2 grs caused flattened primers. It was tricky working with 0.3gr difference with a balance and powder feed as mediocre as that which came with my Lee Anniversary single stage reloader. I sold the magnum primers I had left and decided that buying commercial for self-defense and reloading for practice just wasn't practical for me.
A .40 cal case is bigger and with a different powder you may have more wiggle room than I had.

Find someone who is willing to trade you 1:1. I did so with someone a year ago or so, but can't do so at the moment.
