This is a 100-count bag of HSM Ammo 40 S&W once fired brass, sold unprimed and ready for the next step in your reloading process. It's aimed at handgun reloaders who want quality range-pickup brass without paying new-case prices. Once-fired cases like these have been through a single firing cycle, so the brass is work-hardened just enough to size cleanly and hold consistent neck tension. If you load for a Glock, Smith, or any other 40 caliber pistol, this brass gives you a solid starting point for plinking loads, practice ammo, or competition rounds without the cost of fresh factory cases.
Each bag holds 100 pieces of 40 S&W brass, unprimed so you control primer selection from the start. The 40 S&W is a small pistol primer case, which makes it straightforward to pair with the right primers from our handgun primer selection and your preferred powder charge. Once-fired brass needs inspection before loading: check for split necks, cracked case mouths, and any berdan-primed strays, then run it through your sizing die to bring the cases back to spec. Trim to length as needed and you're ready to prime and charge. Pair this brass with quality handgun bullets and the appropriate pistol powder to build a complete load.
Reloaders building practice and match ammo for 40 caliber pistols are the right fit for this brass. A 100-count bag is enough to set up a load workup or top off a depleted case lot without committing to bulk quantities. Once you have your process dialed in, this brass holds up for multiple reloading cycles when sized and trimmed correctly. If you load multiple calibers, take a look at our other once-fired options like the HSM 9mm once fired brass or browse the full handgun brass lineup to stock your bench.
These are once-fired cases sold unprimed. Inspect each case for split necks and cracks, deprime and resize on your press, and trim to length if needed before priming. Cleaning or tumbling is recommended to remove range residue so the brass feeds smoothly through your dies.
The 40 S&W is a small pistol primer cartridge. You'll want small pistol primers when reloading these cases. Since the brass ships unprimed, you choose the primer that matches your load data and intended use.
Handgun brass like 40 S&W can typically handle several reloading cycles when sized and trimmed properly and loaded within published pressure data. Inspect each case at every cycle and retire any that show split necks, cracks, or signs of head separation.
