500 Rounds of 180gr FMJ .40 S&W Ammo by Winchester Ranger

40 S&W ammunition was shaped a caliber by a significant law-enforcement involved shooting in Florida in the mid-80’s. The events that took place during what has come to be known as the 1986 FBI Miami Shootout would forever make their mark on the firearms industry. On the day in question a pair of known serial bank robbers led a team of FBI agents on a car chase that ended in the streets of Miami. The robbers were shot almost immediately, but their wounds barely slowed them down. Before succumbing to the gunshot wounds they managed to shoot all but one agent, two of whom they killed. When it was over the FBI decided their agents needed more capable rounds, but without the greater recoil of the 10mm. Four years later, the .40 S&W was created.

These .40 S&W rounds weigh in at 180 grain, making them heavy-weight for the cartridge size. At this weight these rounds impact targets with significant force but are light enough to reach out and touch targets at good speeds. These are Full Metal Jacket, or FMJ, rounds and as such do not expand on impact. Each of these rounds leaves the barrel of your handgun with a muzzle velocity of 990 feet per second and muzzle energy of 390 foot-pounds. This ammunition is great for target practice, tactical training, and plinking.

When you place your order for these Winchester rounds you get 10 boxes of 50 rounds each for a total of 500 target rounds. That’s a big box of ammunition; with 500 rounds you can get some serious trigger time in. By the time you burn through this entire box your marksmanship skills are bound to have improved. These are brand new production, brass-cased rounds with boxer primer, so you can collect your spent brass, reload it, and get even more time at the range. This ammunition is also non-corrosive, which is easier on the barrel of your handgun. All Winchester ammunition is manufactured with pride right here in the United States.
