Description
Remington UMC .40 S&W 180 grain full metal jacket ammunition is made right here in the USA at Remington's Lonoke, Arkansas facility, using premium components and strict manufacturing standards. With a muzzle velocity of approximately 985-990 feet per second and muzzle energy around 388-392 foot-pounds, this load delivers the stopping power and accuracy you need for serious practice.
What Makes UMC .40 S&W 180gr Stand Out
The 180-grain bullet weight strikes that sweet spot for the .40 S&W, offering heavier impact than lighter loads while maintaining controllable recoil. The full metal jacket design ensures reliable feeding and consistent accuracy across a variety of semi-automatic pistols, plus it means less barrel fouling during extended sessions. These cartridges are loaded with factory-fresh brass and Kleanbore primers, which contribute to both clean performance and the ability to reload spent cases if you're into that.
Built for High-Volume Shooting
If you're planning a serious day at the range or regular training drills, the 250-round box format makes this a no-brainer. You get enough ammunition to really get through your practice without constantly reloading your supply. The brass cases are new production and non-corrosive, so whether you're shooting once and moving on or saving them for reloading later, you're covered.
UMC's Legacy of Value and Performance
UMC has been around for over 140 years, and Remington brings that same commitment to ammunition manufacturing today. This isn't budget ammo that cuts corners on quality; it's performance-driven ammunition built for reliability at a reasonable price point. The combination of consistent ignition, stable velocity, and proven components makes these rounds suitable for both casual range time and serious training work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Remington UMC .40 S&W 180gr suitable for reloading?
Yes, absolutely. These come with new brass casings and Boxer primers, both of which are designed for reloading. Many shooters save these cases and reload them multiple times, adding to the overall value of the ammunition.
What's the difference between this FMJ and hollow-point ammunition?
The full metal jacket design provides reliable feeding, minimal barrel fouling, and consistent performance on the range, which is why it's ideal for practice and training. Hollow-point rounds are designed for expansion and are typically reserved for other applications. For general range work and training drills, the FMJ design is exactly what you want.
Will the Remington UMC 180gr work in my .40 S&W pistol?
Yes, this ammunition is designed for all standard .40 S&W semi-automatic pistols and revolvers. The specs and tolerances are consistent with industry standards, so feeding and function shouldn't be an issue with any standard .40-caliber firearm.
How does the 180-grain bullet compare to lighter .40 S&W loads?
The 180-grain bullet provides more momentum and a flatter trajectory than lighter loads, while the recoil remains manageable. This makes it a versatile choice for training, accuracy work, and building skills with a load that delivers real stopping power.
