Winchester Silvertip Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) 155 Grain 40 Smith & Wesson Ammo - 50 Rounds

Always in the top three of popular American sidearm calibers, the 40 S&W was designed for use in law enforcement unlike the other two caliber: the 9mm Luger and .45 ACP, which were military calibers first. The .40 was born of a need to deliver more immediate terminal ballistics than anything else, while still being manageable in recoil for follow up shots. The compromise made it less robust than the 10mm Auto from which it was descended but still a harder hitter than the other two rounds. While 9mm bullet design has nudged that caliber to the front of the pack in recent years, the .40 remains a trusted caliber for both professional and private shooters.

Winchester’s 155 grain jacketed hollow “silvertip” bullet has a muzzle velocity of 1205 feet per second with 500 foot pounds of energy. This is a premium defense round for use in carry conceal and service weapons.

Winchester is among the oldest and most recognized of modern ammunition and firearms makers. Their white box target ammo is respected for consistent quality and dependability. The silvertip line is no less so, which is comforting since it is for use against targets more aggressive than paper bullseyes. The electroless nickel plating on the bullets are designed to retain mass and penetration while delivering expansion and full energy transfer into the target where it belongs.
