Federal American Eagle 40 S&W 180 Grain Full Metal Jacket ammunition delivers reliable, consistent performance for law enforcement training, duty carry qualification, and civilian defensive practice. This .40 caliber load pairs a 180-grain FMJ-TC (Full Metal Jacket–Total Copper) projectile with Federal's proven brass-cased, boxer-primed cartridge design, offering the ballistic stability and penetration characteristics preferred by tactical professionals for indoor range work and barrier-blind scenarios where jacket integrity is essential.
The 180-grain projectile weight in .40 S&W represents an optimized balance point between recoil management and stopping potential in duty-sized firearms. At a muzzle velocity of 1,000 feet per second, this load generates moderate chamber pressure while maintaining sufficient energy retention through intermediate barriers—a critical consideration for law enforcement agencies evaluating ammunition for patrol and special response environments. The 0.17 ballistic coefficient supports consistent flight path and minimal drift deviation at typical engagement distances, supporting shot placement accuracy during qualification and defensive drills.
Packaged in 50-round boxes with 20 boxes per case (1,000 rounds total), this ammunition suits department-level procurement, academy training cycles, and serious enthusiasts building a service-grade 40 S&W training library. American Eagle brand ammunition is recognized in law enforcement and military contexts for consistent lot-to-lot quality and corrosion-resistant brass composition. The FMJ-TC bullet construction ensures reliable feeding in standard .40 caliber platforms while meeting range-safety protocols that require non-expanding projectiles in indoor facilities.
