Barnes is pretty proud of their XPB's, no doubt. I load for .40 S&W, but I don't load anything exotic. I stick to 165 or 180 grain FMJ's or JHP's. Montana Gold makes a nice bullet that's reasonably prices.

There are several online places for components that I use:
www.natchezss.com
www.cabelas.com
www.midwayusa.com

I continually compare their prices and make a lump order to save on shipping. Since you are in central WI, a Gander Mountain store might actually have better prices than the online vendors, once you consider shipping costs.
