50 Rounds of 180gr MC .40 S&W Ammo by Remington UMC Target

40 S&W ammo – when your standard 9mm round isn’t enough.

During what would come to be known as the 1986 FBI Miami Shootout, a pair of serial bank robbers pulled a group of FBI agents into a firefight right in the streets of the city. Throughout the fight a huge number of rounds were fired on both sides with the robbers each being struck repeatedly, yet continuing to fight. When the dust finally settled the robbers had at long last succumbed to their wounds, but not before taking two of the agents with them. As a result the FBI decided they needed a more capable standard issue round, and after four years of testing, the .40 S&W was created.

At 180 grain these particular .40 S&W rounds are at the heavy end of the spectrum for the cartridge size. Being heavier slows them down somewhat but also gives them more power, so they pack a harder punch than their lighter counterparts. These are Metal Case, MC, rounds, which are Remington’s version of Full Metal Jacket. They do not expand on impact and, as with all target rounds, are prone to over-penetration. Each round has a muzzle velocity of 990 feet per second and muzzle energy of 392 foot-pounds. This ammunition is ideal for target practice, tactical training, and plinking.
