The Sellier & Bellot SB40NT delivers lead-free performance for shooters who need reliable 40 S&W ammunition that meets environmental restrictions without sacrificing accuracy. This 180-grain Total Full Metal Jacket load provides consistent ballistics across indoor ranges, training facilities, and hunting areas where non-toxic ammunition is required.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the SB40NT features a complete copper-zinc alloy construction that eliminates lead exposure concerns while maintaining the weight distribution of conventional 180-grain loads. The Total Full Metal Jacket design encases the entire projectile, preventing lead fouling in barrels and reducing airborne particulates during firing. Ballistic performance matches standard 40 S&W specifications with consistent powder charges and reliable ignition.
