Description
The Underwood Range Supply line delivers the quality and performance you expect from Underwood but at a price that makes frequent practice realistic. This .40 S&W 180-grain FMJ is loaded to 1000 fps with 400 ft-lbs of energy, designed to duplicate the recoil and trajectory of premium carry ammunition without the premium carry ammunition price tag.
What makes the Range Supply 180gr FMJ different from bulk budget ammo is the component quality. You get nickel-plated brass casings for smoother feeding and extraction across different pistols, along with quality primers and consistent powder charges. The flat-nose FMJ profile is particularly useful since it cuts clean holes on target rather than deflecting, making it easier to diagnose accuracy issues at the range.
Range Supply Fits Your Training Goals
This is loaded to the same pressures as Underwood's premium lines, which matters if you're trying to build consistent muscle memory with your defensive setup. Switching between full-power practice ammo and lighter range loads means adjusting your grip, sight picture, and follow-up timing. With Range Supply, you eliminate that variable and focus on the fundamentals. The 50-round box sizing also means less time reloading magazines and more time shooting.
Reloadable Brass for Long-Term Value
The nickel-plated brass cases are boxer-primed and reloadable, which extends the practical value well beyond the initial shot count. If you run volume through your .40 S&W regularly, reloading Range Supply brass covers your future practice needs at a fraction of factory ammo cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 180-grain weight compare to lighter .40 S&W rounds?
The heavier 180-grain bullet delivers a flatter trajectory and more consistent performance across different barrel lengths compared to 165-grain options. At the 1000 fps velocity, this load maintains manageable recoil while providing deep penetration. Many find 180-grain works well for both accuracy development and practicing with defensive loads that use the same bullet weight.
Is Range Supply ammo suitable for defensive use?
Range Supply is specifically designed for practice and training, not as a primary defensive load. The FMJ bullet doesn't expand on impact. If you're training with it to match your carry ammo's ballistics, that's a solid approach, but for actual carry you'd want to use Underwood's hollow point or specialized defensive ammunition.
Can I reload these brass cases after firing?
Yes, the nickel-plated boxer-primed brass is fully reloadable. If you reload, this becomes especially good value since you can reload them multiple times. This is a common reason range shooters prefer this load for high-volume practice.
Will this ammo work in all .40 S&W pistols?
Underwood Range Supply is loaded to standard pressures and the nickel-plated cases provide smooth feeding across most modern semi-auto pistols. The flat-nosed FMJ profile is well-suited to pistol ramps. If you're running something less common or vintage, always verify .40 S&W compatibility with your specific firearm first.
