40 SW – 165 gr JHP – PMC (40B) – 1000 Rounds

An affordable hollow point you can buy by the case is useful for 40 S&W owners who want to confirm reliability with hollow points or practice with a load closer to their defensive ammunition. This listing is PMC Bronze 40 S&W 165 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN 40B, sold as a 1,000 round case.

PMC rates this load at 1,040 fps with 396 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 165 grain jacketed hollow point has an open cavity designed to expand on impact, and the bullet weight matches popular 165 grain duty loads, so recoil and point of impact feel familiar. It is a traditional cup-and-core hollow point rather than a bonded or barrier-tested duty bullet, which is why many carriers use it for practice and function testing while carrying a premium load such as Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot.

This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 40 S&W, including the Glock 22, 23, 27, and 35, Smith and Wesson M&P40 and SD40 VE, SIG P226, P229, and P320, Springfield XD and XD-M, Beretta PX4 Storm, Ruger SR40, CZ P-07, and the Beretta CX4 Storm carbine. A common question is whether hollow points feed reliably in my 40. Most modern 40 S&W pistols feed JHP without issue, but running a few boxes is the best way to confirm it in your gun. Another common question is whether this is +P. It is standard pressure ammunition safe in any 40 S&W firearm in good condition.

PMC 40B is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in South Korea. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive. This case comes in factory packaging as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds of 40 S&W 165 grain JHP. Buying by the case keeps you on one production lot for consistent function and point of impact from box to box.
