Sellier & Bellot 40 S&W 180gr JHP Ammunition - 50 Rounds SB40C

The Sellier & Bellot SB40C delivers consistent terminal performance with its 180-grain jacketed hollow point design optimized for the 40 S&W platform. This Czech-manufactured ammunition combines reliable expansion characteristics with the precision manufacturing standards that have made Sellier & Bellot a trusted name among law enforcement and civilian shooters for over 190 years.

What Makes This Different

The 180-grain bullet weight represents the optimal balance between penetration depth and expansion reliability in the 40 S&W cartridge. Unlike lighter bullet weights that may over-expand or heavier options that sacrifice expansion, this load achieves consistent 12-15 inches of penetration in ballistic gelatin. The jacketed hollow point construction features a controlled expansion cavity that opens reliably at velocities between 900-1000 fps.

Key Features

• 180-grain jacketed hollow point bullet for optimal terminal ballistics
• Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading applications
• Consistent muzzle velocity of approximately 985 fps from 4-inch barrel
• Non-corrosive propellant and primer compounds
• 50-round box packaging for convenient range sessions
• Compatible with all 40 S&W chambered firearms
• Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for reliable feeding

This ammunition performs consistently across various barrel lengths, from compact 3.5-inch barrels to full-size 5-inch platforms. The load demonstrates reliable cycling in both striker-fired and hammer-fired pistols, making it suitable for duty carry, home defense, and competitive shooting applications. The brass cases extract cleanly and show minimal case head expansion, indicating proper pressure levels.
