Remington UMC 40 S&W 180 grain jacketed hollow point ammo bridges the gap between training volume and defensive capability. A 40 S&W cartridge is a rimless straight-walled pistol round developed for law enforcement, offering higher capacity than .45 ACP with more energy than 9mm. This load pushes a 180-grain jacketed hollow point to 1015 feet per second from a 4-inch test barrel, generating 412 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The Remington UMC line has been in continuous production since 1867, delivering first-quality components at volume pricing for high-round-count shooters.
Built for the Box
Each case starts as new brass with a Boxer primer — non-corrosive and reloadable for handloaders who process their own training stock. The jacketed hollow point projectile features a traditional cup-and-core design with an exposed lead cavity, engineered to expand on soft tissue contact while maintaining jacket integrity through intermediate barriers. Remington crimps each round to mil-spec tension, ensuring consistent ignition and feeding across Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, Springfield XD, and SIG P320 platforms. The 180-grain weight sits at the heavy end of the 40 S&W spectrum, trading some velocity for deeper penetration and reduced muzzle flip in polymer-framed service pistols.
