Description
PMC Bronze 40 Cal 165gr FMJ 1000ct ammunition is built for shooters who want consistent, reliable performance without paying premium prices. PMC loads each cartridge with a 165 grain Full Metal Jacket Flat Point to a rated muzzle velocity of 989 feet per second and about 358 foot-pounds of energy. The company says every powder charge is measured electronically, and any cartridge outside a tight tolerance is rejected, which helps each round in the 1000-round case behave like the last.
Buying a full 1000-round case keeps your cost per round low and gives you a consistent lot for months of practice, league shooting or qualification training.

The 165 grain bullet is a middle weight for the .40 S&W, offering a bit less recoil than 180 grain loads while keeping similar point of impact in most pistols. Many shooters find it a comfortable choice for long practice sessions.
Clean your pistol regularly when shooting high volumes of range ammunition, and inspect the recoil spring periodically, since the .40 S&W is a relatively high-pressure cartridge that can wear springs faster than 9mm.

Why an FMJ Flat Point Works for Training
An FMJ flat point bullet has a flat nose rather than a round one, which is the traditional profile for the .40 S&W and feeds reliably in pistols designed around it. It punches clean holes in paper targets for easy scoring and is less likely to deflect off steel at an odd angle than a sharply pointed bullet.
A consistent lot matters, too. When every box in the case comes from the same production run, your point of impact and recoil stay the same from session to session, which makes it easier to track your progress.
PMC has manufactured ammunition since 1964, and its Bronze line is one of the most widely used range loads in the country. Bronze bridges the gap for shooters who train often and want every round to feel the same, shot after shot.
Owners of Glock 22 and 23, Smith and Wesson M&P40, Springfield XD, Sig P226 and other .40 S&W pistols who train often will get the most from this case. Many law enforcement agencies issued .40 caliber pistols for years, so this is also a practical choice for qualification practice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for .40 S&W, wear eye and ear protection on the range, and follow all federal, state and local laws regarding ammunition.
If you have been searching for dependable 40 caliber range ammo, this load is a practical everyday choice that balances cost and consistency, so you can shoot more often without switching loads between practice and serious use.
Store this ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original packaging so the lot number stays with it. Keep a few boxes set aside from the same lot if you compete, since changing lots mid-season can shift your point of impact slightly.
