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

Thad in customer support was great. Called and reported lost shipment. A claim was filed with FedEx and Widener's promptly shipped again. I received order in three days and on a Sunday to boot! Great service! Ordered 1000 40 S&W caliber 165 grain JHP Zero Bullets. They look very uniform and well made. Loaded up 100 and test fired 5 shots with no problems. Load data: 5.2 grains Accurate #2 COL=1.125.

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.

Zero Bullets 40 S&W (.400" Diameter) Bullets 200 Grain FMJ-TC – 500 Projectiles
$67.85Cost Per Bullet 13.6¢ per bullet 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.

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.

Berry’s 40 Cal Bullets - 180 Grain Hybrid HP – 1000 Count
$150.00Cost Per Bullet 15.0¢ per bullet 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. -
