40 SW – 115 gr HoneyBadger Solid Copper – Black Hills (D40N720) – 500 Rounds

Black Hills HoneyBadger was developed around a simple idea: a defensive bullet whose performance does not depend on expanding. This listing is Black Hills HoneyBadger 40 S&W 115 grain solid copper ammo, MPN D40N720, sold as 500 rounds. It suits 40 S&W carriers who want a light, lead free, non-expanding bullet, and who want a large enough supply to train with their carry ammunition.

The HoneyBadger is a machined solid copper bullet with deep flutes in the nose rather than a hollow point cavity. As the spinning bullet enters a target, the flutes direct fluid outward to form the wound channel, so clothing that can plug a hollow point does not change its behavior. Because it does not expand, it keeps its full weight. The light 115 grain bullet gives the 40 S&W a quicker, softer recoil than heavier loads. This is self defense ammunition. We do not list a velocity because we could not confirm the published figure for this part number.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 40 S&W, such as the Glock 22, 23, and 27, Smith and Wesson M&P40, SIG P226, P229, and P320, Springfield XD, HK P30 and VP40, and Beretta PX4 Storm. A common question is whether a non-expanding bullet over penetrates. Any handgun bullet can pass through a target, and a non-expanding design retains its full weight, so consider your home layout and backstop when choosing a carry load. Another common question is whether this lead free ammo works at ranges that ban exposed lead. The bullet is solid copper, but check primer and jacket rules with your range.

Black Hills D40N720 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Rapid City, South Dakota. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive components. The listing ships as 500 rounds from one lot, so the ammunition you use to confirm reliability is the same ammunition you carry.
