Product Overview
PMC Bronze .40 S&W 165gr FMJ ammo stands out as a practical choice for those seeking consistent performance at the range. If you're aiming to sharpen your accuracy with a full-size or compact .40 S&W handgun, this round's 989 fps velocity provides a flat trajectory for distances typical in defensive scenarios.
