Description
The Magtech Clean Range line puts indoor range safety first. Whether you're spending an afternoon at a covered range or putting in high-volume training sessions, these rounds are specifically designed to keep the air around you and your firearm cleaner. The fully encapsulated bullet means no exposed lead base, and the non-toxic primer completes the package for a significantly lower exposure environment.
What Makes the CR40A Different for Indoor Shooting
Most standard target ammo still uses traditional construction with an exposed lead base. When fired, that lead vaporizes into the air where it can be inhaled. This Clean Range line changes that equation. The fully encapsulated design seals the lead completely, preventing airborne lead particles at the firing point. Combined with the non-toxic primer, you get a round that meets the environmental requirements of most lead-free indoor facilities. Your gun stays cleaner too, since there's no molten lead being deposited down the barrel.
Performance and Reloadability
These aren't lightweight plinking rounds. The 180-grain bullet weight puts the CR40A on the heavier side for .40 S&W, which means it mimics the ballistics of defensive ammunition more closely than lighter target loads do. You're getting 990 fps muzzle velocity and 392 ft-lbs of energy, delivering consistent downrange performance. The brass casings are boxer-primed and reloadable, so you can stretch your range budget further by collecting and processing your spent brass.
Reliable Function You Can Count On
Magtech ammunition comes from a company that's been in the business since the late 1980s, operating under strict quality standards. These rounds chamber smoothly, fire reliably, and extract cleanly. You get 50 rounds per box, giving you a solid session at the range without wondering if your ammunition will perform as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these Clean Range rounds work at my indoor range?
Yes. The Magtech CR40A is specifically designed for indoor ranges with lead-free primers and a fully encapsulated bullet that meets the environmental regulations of most lead-free facilities. Check with your specific range to confirm their ammunition requirements, but these rounds are purpose-built for indoor use and should be accepted at virtually all facility types.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Absolutely. The CR40A comes in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, so you can collect the spent casings and reload them. This lets you extend your ammunition budget significantly over time and get more range time from each box you purchase.
How does the 180-grain weight compare to other .40 S&W target ammo?
180 grains is on the heavier side for .40 S&W target rounds, which makes it closer to defensive ammunition in terms of ballistics and recoil. If you carry 180-grain defense rounds or train with them, this weight gives you more realistic practice that better translates to how your actual carry load will perform.
What makes the fully encapsulated bullet different?
A fully encapsulated bullet has copper covering the entire projectile, including the base, whereas standard ammunition has an exposed lead base. This prevents lead from vaporizing into the air when fired, making it the safer option for frequent indoor shooters and high-volume training.
