The Classic 40 S&W Bullet Weight

The 180 grain bullet is the original weight the 40 S&W was designed around, and it remains the most common choice for duty and defensive loads. Practicing with the same weight means your sights, recoil impulse and timing stay consistent between range sessions and the ammunition you carry.

American Eagle uses Federal primers, Federal brass and clean burning powders, so each box performs like the last. Federal’s published data shows this load holding about 900 feet per second at 100 yards, a steady, predictable trajectory for every practical pistol distance.

The 100 round boxes are convenient for range trips and classes, and buying the full 500 round case lowers your cost per round.

Practice Tips

Use Federal AE 40 SW 180gr FMJ ammo only in firearms chambered for 40 S&W.

Split the case into planned drills such as draw and first shot, reloads, and shooting at 3, 7 and 15 yards.

If you carry a 180 grain defensive load, confirm both loads hit to the same point of aim with your pistol.

Store unopened boxes in a cool, dry place in their original packaging.

Federal AE 40 SW 180gr FMJ 500 Rounds is a proven choice for 40 S&W owners who train regularly, students heading to multi day classes, and anyone who wants a dependable stock of practice ammunition.

Heavier bullets at moderate speed produce a recoil impulse many shooters describe as more of a push than a snap. Federal AE 40 SW 180gr FMJ 500 Rounds gives you plenty of time behind the trigger to learn that impulse, build a solid grip and speed up your follow up shots. The load carries roughly 400 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle by standard calculation, close to many 180 grain defensive loads.

Full metal jacket bullets are the standard for practice. They feed smoothly in almost any pistol, punch clean holes in paper and cost less than hollow points. With Federal AE 40 SW 180gr FMJ ammo on hand, you can spend more time shooting and less time counting rounds.

A 500 round case is a practical amount for most shooters. It covers a typical two day handgun class with room to spare, or several months of regular practice for anyone who shoots a few boxes each month.

Store your ammunition in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping a case of Federal AE 40 SW 180gr FMJ 500 Rounds in reserve means you are ready for matches, classes and range days whenever they come up.

Clean your pistol after long sessions, paying attention to the feed ramp and extractor, to keep it running reliably through the whole case.
