40 SW – 165 gr FMJ – PMC Battle Packs (40D-BP) – 900 Rounds

PMC Battle Packs seal 300 rounds of pistol ammo in a heavy, vacuum-packed bag, which makes them easy to store and fast to open on range day. This listing is PMC Bronze 40 S&W 165 grain full metal jacket ammo in Battle Packs, MPN 40D-BP, sold as 900 rounds.

PMC rates this load at 989 fps with 358 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, the same load as its boxed 40D. The 165 grain bullet is the middle weight for 40 S&W, a little faster and flatter than 180 grain loads while keeping the energy the cartridge is known for. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this is practice, qualification, and competition ammunition rather than a defensive or hunting load. The sealed Battle Pack keeps moisture and air out, so ammo stored in a closet or vehicle stays fresh until it is needed.

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, SIG P226, P229, and P320, Springfield XD and XD-M, Beretta PX4, Ruger SR40, and carbines such as the Beretta CX4 Storm and Hi-Point 4095TS. A common question is whether Battle Pack ammo is the same as PMC’s boxed ammo. It is the same load, just packed in bulk sealed bags instead of 50 round boxes. Another common question is how to load ammo from a Battle Pack quickly. Many shooters pour a pack into an ammo can or range bag and use a magazine loader.

PMC 40D-BP 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 listing ships as 3 Battle Packs of 300 rounds for a total of 900 rounds of 40 S&W 165 grain FMJ.
