Sellier & Bellot - Full Metal Jacket - 180 Grain 40 Smith & Wesson Ammo - 1000 Rounds

The potency of the 10mm Automatic captured the imagination of many shooters and bullet designers who sought to take the cartridge and make it a bit more… manageable. The .40 Smith & Wesson is but one example of the effort. The .40, aka 10 short, was born of making the FBI's need for a more effective sidearm round that did not have the controllability issues many agents experienced with the full 10. While more manageable than its parent caliber, the service round .40 still manages some bark and bite to achieve the goals the Feds sought. The 180 grain FMJ round be S&B has a muzzle velocity of 968 feet per second with 375 foot pounds of energy. As such, it has similar characteristics to a .45 acp – in a firearms with the capacity closer to a 9mm - so is very good for range training and target practice.

Sellier & Bellot, S&B, has produced ammunition, and ammo components, from what is now the Czech Republic for over 200 years. American shooters have found cartridges from this company to be manufactured with an eye towards quality of components and a superior, reliable consistency for decades. This 1000 round case is ideal for keeping on hand and providing fully reloadable cases for additional value.
