Federal American Eagle ammunition in .40 S&W (brand part no. AE40R100) is a range-day handgun load built for consistent function magazine after magazine. Federal backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 180 gr bullet with a Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) design, matched to the .40 S&W platform shooters already run. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this is the Federal load built for that job.
