The Remington Ultimate Defense 40 S&W delivers consistent terminal performance with precision-engineered 165-grain jacketed hollow point bullets. This full-size handgun ammunition combines proven brass cases with advanced projectile design for reliable expansion and energy transfer.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Ultimate Defense line features Golden Saber bonded-core technology that prevents jacket separation during expansion. The 165-grain bullet weight provides optimal balance between velocity and penetration in 40 S&W chamberings. Unlike standard ball ammunition, these jacketed hollow points expand reliably through barriers while maintaining structural integrity for consistent wound channels.

This ammunition performs effectively in law enforcement and personal defense scenarios where stopping power matters most.
