.40 S/W FEDERAL HYDRA SHOK 165 GRAIN JHP (1000 ROUNDS)

.40 S/W FEDERAL HYDRA SHOK 165 GRAIN JHP (1000 ROUNDS)

These Federal Hydra-Shok self-defense rounds for .40 S&W pistols are packed in a 1,000 round case for more economical buying by those who like to train with hollow points. They use a light 165 grain bullet which achieves above average velocities comparable to those of a standard pressure 9mm round. This helps the Hydra-Shok hollow point design expand more effectively, aided by its distinctive central post, which helps add consistency to the mushrooming process. Non-corrosive Boxer primers and nickel-plated brass cases provide unerring reliability even over years of carry.

The .40 S&W is a popular police and CCW round that seeks to blend the strengths of the 9mm Luger and the .45 ACP. Introduced in 1990, it is a relatively new entrant to the market compared to its century-old competitors. The .40's parent cartridge is the 10mm Auto, which has the same diameter but a longer casing and usually carries a hotter powder charge.

Buying ammo by the case is a great way to save money--and AmmoMan.com makes it even better by offering free shipping for all orders over $99.
