Description
PMC Bronze is built for range days and high-volume practice sessions where reliability and consistency matter. These 165-grain full metal jacket flat point rounds deliver a smooth-feeding combination that cycles reliably through most .40 caliber semi-auto handguns without the feeding issues you might encounter with other flat point designs.
PMC .40 S&W Quality Control Standards
Every single cartridge in this box goes through PMC's electronic powder-check station, which measures the propellant charge with tight tolerance. If the powder varies by even two-tenths of a grain, that round gets discarded before it leaves the factory. This level of consistency means you're getting uniform velocities downrange, which translates to tighter groups and more predictable performance shot after shot.
Built for Reloading and Extended Shooting
The brass cases are boxer-primed and fully reloadable, so you can recover your spent casings and reload them down the road. The flat point design actually minimizes barrel fouling compared to some round-nose ammunition, which keeps your gun cleaner during extended practice sessions. Non-corrosive primers mean you don't have to worry about any corrosive residue damaging your firearm's internals.
With a muzzle velocity around 985-989 fps and approximately 355-358 ft-lbs of energy, this is straightforward target and training ammunition. PMC has earned a solid reputation for delivering exactly what you expect without surprises, and this .40 caliber load is no exception.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will PMC .40 S&W 165gr FMJ-FP feed reliably in my semi-auto pistol?
Yes. The full metal jacket flat point design is engineered for smooth, reliable feeding in standard .40 caliber semi-auto handguns. The flat point geometry feeds more consistently than round-nose designs in most platforms, making this ammunition dependable for high-volume practice sessions.
Can I reload the brass cases from PMC Bronze .40 S&W ammunition?
Absolutely. PMC uses boxer-primed brass cases that are fully reloadable. Recovering and reloading these casings lets you stretch your practice budget further over time, making high-volume shooting more cost-effective.
How does PMC ensure consistency in this ammunition?
Every round passes through PMC's electronic powder-check station, which measures the propellant charge to tight tolerances. If any cartridge's powder charge varies by as little as two-tenths of a grain, it gets rejected. This rigorous inspection creates uniform velocities and consistent performance downrange.
Is PMC .40 S&W 165gr ammunition suitable for self-defense?
This is target and training ammunition designed for range use and practice. Full metal jacket rounds are not typically recommended for self-defense applications because they don't expand on impact. For defensive use, consider PMC's jacketed hollow point offerings in the same caliber.
