40 Cal Bullets
Looking for bulk 40 cal bullets for reloading? Once you’ve got the right ones, the rest is easy!
The packages for sale on this page are only the bullets. If you'd like loaded rounds ready to shoot, please visit our 40 cal ammo page here.
40 S&W bullets for reloading usually weigh between 125 and 180 grains, although heavyweight 200 grain bullets are also available. A good 40 S&W bullet is also a good 10mm bullet, making .400 diameter bullets a versatile investment. The 40 S&W’s max pressure is lower at 35,000 psi, giving it a muzzle velocity anywhere between approximately 985 and 1,300 fps. Load data for jacketed bullets, lead bullets, copper bullets, and frangible bullets are all readily available for this popular handgun cartridge. With the right powder for your bullet weight and some small pistol primers at your disposal, reloading your own 40 S&W is just a matter of work. (We like to play Joe Don Baker movies in the background while we practice our science at the reloading bench.)
You’ll want to be careful about reusing brass while reloading 40 S&W. It’s a powerful cartridge, so cases that aren’t properly supported by a semi-auto during ignition often wind up bulging. A common resizing die won’t fix bulging completely, but a specialized one like the Redding GR-X is able to.

Not good in a Glock 20
-
These bullets constantly fail to feed in a stock Glock 20 barrel. They feed OK in a KKM precision barrel, so-so in a Storm Lake barrel.

Bullets are great
-
Bullets are great the only thing that upset me was when I was walking up the stairs at my apartment I kept finding random .40 cal bullets laying on the steps. After the trail of bullets I got my package and the box was spilling out bullets. I haven’t counted but hopefully I didn’t lose too many between shipping and and the arrival. Better packaging would be great

Zero Bullets 40 S&W / 10mm Auto (.400" Diameter) 180 Grain FMJ-TC - 500 Projectiles
$79.85Cost Per Bullet 16¢ per bullet Bullet Weight 180 Grain Bullet Caliber 10mm, 40 Caliber, 40 S&W Quantity 500 Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket Truncated Cone (FMJTC) Manufacturer Zero Bullet Manufacturer SKU R143 Save some cash when you create your own 10mm and .40 S&W rounds for practice and matches. These projectiles from Zero Bullets use proper copper jackets in a full metal jacket truncated cone (FMJ-TC) shape. Truncated cone style bullets are similar to a semi-wadcutter with a sloping ogive and flat nose which leaves nice clean holes in targets for clean scoring and group measurement. These bullets weigh 180 grains which is ideal for many recipes of both calibers. Zero Bullets is an Alabama manufacturer that has a great reputation for offering consistent projectiles at a low cost.

Hornady .400 Diameter Bullets - 200 Grain XTP – 100 Count
$28.85- Buy 5 at $25.85 /each and save
Cost Per Bullet 25.8¢ to 28.8¢ per bullet Bullet Weight 200 Grain Bullet Caliber 10mm, 40 S&W Quantity 100 Bullet Type XTP Manufacturer Hornady Manufacturer SKU 40060 This is not loaded ammunition. You cannot fire these components bullets right out of the box. You have to load them first, just like you have to cook a Thanksgiving turkey before you can eat it.
Are you loading your own 40 S&W self-defense loads? Are you loading your own 10mm hunting loads? Or are you just trying to create the most accurate .40 cal cartridges possible? It all starts with the Hornady eXtreme Terminal Performance.
When you load these 0.400” diameter 200 grain bullets, you get to appreciate just how many features Hornady is able to pack into a single drawn gilding metal jacket. The XTP’s protective jacket doesn’t let its swaged lead core touch the feed ramp, and it also keeps the nose cavity’s rim from deforming during initial impact. That preserves the jacketed hollow point’s ability to produce wide terminal expansion. The XTP’s jacket is notched, and it becomes increasingly thinner the closer it gets to the rim – two features which also promote more reliable expansion. Its core uniformity and jacket concentricity also give the XTP awesome accuracy. You will not be misusing these bullets if you only load them in match rounds!
Hornady is one of America’s most respected bullet manufacturers. Uniform in weight and dimensions, their XTP represents the old Nebraskan company’s very best work!Customer Reviews

Quite frankly these bullets performed exactly as I expected. Loaded them for my 10mm Glock G40 long slide with Blue Dot. Nice grouping at 50 feet. ( indoor range ) Will hunt whitetail and hogs with these bullets.

Have used these in loading 40 S&W rounds and have been very pleased with the results; plan to also load some 10mm rounds with them to see if they perform as well there.
