Description
Sellier & Bellot has been making ammunition since 1825, and the .40 S&W 180-grain FMJ shows why they've stayed relevant for nearly two centuries. These rounds hit the sweet spot for folks who want dependable practice ammo without overthinking it. The full metal jacket design feeds smoothly through most .40 pistols and keeps your barrel cleaner during extended range sessions since FMJ bullets don't leave as much residue as other designs.
Velocity and Performance You Can Count On
You're getting 968 feet per second muzzle velocity with 375 foot-pounds of energy on every shot. That consistency matters when you're working on your accuracy or just putting rounds downrange for volume practice. The 180-grain bullet weight gives you a flatter trajectory than lighter rounds, which helps with grouping at typical range distances. Nothing fancy here, just straightforward ballistics that work.
Built for Volume Shooting
The brass cases are reloadable if you want to squeeze more value out of your practice sessions. Boxer primers make reloading simple, and the noncorrosive composition means you're not dealing with corrosive residue that eats your bore. Each box has 50 rounds, which is standard for this type of ammunition and easy to manage for storage and transport.
Whether you're zeroing a new gun, keeping your fundamentals sharp, or just enjoying time at the range, this Sellier & Bellot load does the job without surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammo reloadable?
Yes. These rounds come in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers, so reloaders can process and reload the casings. The noncorrosive formulation means you won't have to worry about corrosive residue eating into your dies or equipment either.
What's the difference between 180-grain and lighter .40 S&W loads?
The heavier 180-grain bullet produces a flatter trajectory and deeper penetration, making it popular for target practice and training. It generates less recoil impulse than some heavier loads while still delivering solid energy downrange. Most shooters find it strikes a good balance between power and control.

FMJ ammunition is known for reliable feeding in most .40 S&W pistols. The full metal jacket design eliminates feeding issues you might encounter with some other bullet types. Sellier & Bellot has built their reputation on consistent performance, and customers regularly report smooth functioning in standard .40 platforms without hiccups.
