Magtech‘s .40 S&W 180gr JHP ammunition (part no. 40A) ships as a 50-round box loaded in a brass case.

In Magtech’s own testing it leaves a 4-inch test barrel at 990 fps, and it is still moving at 894 fps at 100 yards. A Small Pistol Primer 1 1/2 starts it, and the bullet carries a published ballistic coefficient of 0.174. Check the specification list for the rest of the published details.
