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.

Zero Bullets 40 S&W (.400" Diameter) 165 Grain JHP - 500 Projectiles
$64.85Cost Per Bullet 13¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 165 Grain Bullet Caliber 10mm, 40 S&W Quantity 500 Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Manufacturer Zero Bullet Manufacturer SKU 165 Work up some high velocity .40 S&W and 10mm Auto cartridges with these premium .400 inch diameter projectiles from Zero Bullets. These bullets are jacketed hollow-points (JHPs) and are great for self-defense loads due to their expansion on impact which will open up a wider wound channel and have more efficient terminal effect on target. These bullets weigh in at 165 grains which is lightweight for both calibers and can be utilized for lower recoil practice loads with the proper data. Zero Bullets is an Alabama-based manufacturer that takes pride in their quality and offers great projectiles at low cost. Zero Bullets pre-segments the crown of their JHPs for more reliable expansion at a variety of distances and impact velocities.

Best Kept Secret
-
High quality 165 grain 40 caliber projectiles, with a deep hollow point. Bullets we’re well packed and double boxed. Loaded up 50 rounds in 10mm at 1250 fps. Fed and cycled perfectly with good accuracy. I would buy these again. I got them on sale, which was great, and the shipping was fair. If you look around on the internet these are a good bargain when compared with all of the big name bullet makers. Good job on keeping these in stock!

Chamber well and shoot accurately
-
These chamber properly in a Glock 20 and seem pretty consistent, probably a lot more than I am. I shot 100 rounds out of this batch with no failures to feed. If the jackets were a little nicer looking I'd give them a five for quality, but they look kind of tarnished and blotchy. They shoot just fine, though. For plinkers they are totally acceptable.

Berry’s 40 Cal Bullets - 180 Grain Hybrid HP – 1000 Count
$134.85Cost Per Bullet 13.5¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 180 Grain Bullet Caliber 10mm, 40 S&W Quantity 1000 Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Manufacturer Berry's Manufacturer SKU 00725 This is not loaded ammunition. Do not order these component bullets if you don’t have the tools and the knowhow to make your own ammo!
The most reliable ammo is that which you design and manufacture with your own two hands. If you want to keep great self-defense loads in your 10mm or 40 S&W firearm’s magazine, Berry’s provides the solution!
This 0.401” diameter 180 grain projectile is Berry’s own Hybrid Hollow Point. The bullet’s swaged lead core was submerged in an electrically charged chemical bath to create an extremely concentric and completely bonded copper jacket. The bullet was then restruck to ensure it is precisely 0.598" in overall length, and also to create its notched nose cavity. In addition to exceptional weight retention that assures penetration depth of 11” to 13”, the Hybrid Hollow Point delivers reliably wide and rapid expansion.
If you use these bullets to load 40 S&W, Berry’s advises a muzzle velocity between 975 and 1,075 fps. Core separation and accuracy issues can result if you exceed that threshold. Load data for Superior Plated Bullets are available in any manual or on any propellant company’s site. -
Zero Bullets 40 S&W (.400" Diameter) Bullets 200 Grain FMJ-TC – 500 Projectiles
$69.85Cost Per Bullet 14¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 200 Grain Bullet Caliber 10mm, 40 S&W Quantity 500 Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket Truncated Cone (FMJTC) Manufacturer Zero Bullet Manufacturer SKU 144 These bullets are great for making practice and match ammo for your 10mm Auto and .40 S&W pistols. These .400 inch diameter projectiles from Zero Bullets possess a full metal copper jacket (FMJ) and a truncated cone (TC) shape. FMJ-TC bullets are ideal for matches and practice because their overall shape allows for proper feeding while their flat noses leave easily discerned holes in paper and cardboard targets for easy scoring or group measurement. In addition, these rounds weigh in at 200 grains which is on the heavier side of either caliber and easily supported by widely available load data. Zero Bullets manufacture their products in Cullman, Alabama and are well-known to reloaders for their consistent quality.

Excellent

Tried these out. Ran them through the Dillion with the on-board powder measure and 7.1gr of CFE Piston. I think they shot better than the Hornady XTP's in a G40. (for some reason the G40 like's the hotter loads and the recoil is not punishing at all and I consider myself recoil shy). I'm an accuracy junky not a power junky. Next stop is to load some .40 with them. I'll buy these again all day long. BTW: really glad I found Wideners.

ordered the 40/10mm zero fmj tc for use in my glock AND my sw 610.
was not disappointed! for a non-expanding max penetration semi-auto round this would be hared to beat! a max load in my g20 put a bullet through 9 milk jugs of water and zipped off into the sunset!! impressive!Review by bob (Posted on 10/2/2023)

Outstanding bullet and price
-
I ordered these bullets just a few days ago and received them on 6-24-16. I loaded some up at three different powder charges of AA9 using once fired brass. At 10 yards the lowest loading gave me an average velocity of 1165fps for an energy level of 603ft/lbs. Holy cow! That should take care of about anything in the lower 48 states. Accuracy was outstanding; out of 5 shots at 10 yds 4 made one jagged hole and the 5th was just 1/8" away.

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 Product Type Bullets 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
