Underwood Hard Cast Flat Nose .40 S&W 200gr ammunition (brand part no. 740) from Underwood Ammo pairs a flat-nose hard cast lead bullet with a nickel-plated case built for shooters who need penetration they can count on. Underwood loads this round in non-corrosive, boxer-primed, reloadable brass, so range days and carry rotations both get consistent ignition. Unlike a hollow point, the hard cast flat nose bullet holds its shape and drives straight through, making it a proven choice for hunters and anyone who needs a round that punches deep through muscle and bone. At 1000 fps, this .40 S&W load runs subsonic and pairs cleanly with a suppressor for a quieter, controlled shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this hard cast bullet expand on impact? No, the flat nose hard cast design is built to hold its shape and penetrate deeply rather than expand.

Is this .40 S&W load subsonic? Yes, at 1000 fps it stays below the speed of sound and is rated safe for suppressor use.

What is sectional density and why does it matter here? Sectional density compares a bullet’s weight to its diameter; a higher figure like this bullet’s 0.179 points toward deeper, straighter penetration.
