Cci Independence Brass Handgun Ammo .40 S&W 180 Gr Fmj 1000 Fps 500/Ct

CCI Independence Brass .40 S&W handgun ammunition delivers reliable, consistent performance for high-volume range sessions without breaking the bank. This 500-round bulk pack loads 180-grain full metal jacket (FMJ) projectiles at 1000 feet per second—a moderate velocity sweet spot that balances controllability with accuracy for target work and training. Whether you're zeroing a new carry gun, running drills, or just putting in trigger time, Independence brass gives you the volume you need to build competency without the sticker shock of premium duty rounds.

The real advantage here is the reloadable brass case. Unlike steel or aluminum casings, Independence brass can be hand-loaded or sent to a remanufacturer, making it genuinely economical for shooters who process their own ammo or reload in bulk. That's a meaningful difference in total cost of ownership over a season of serious practice. The ammunition is manufactured in the USA and features Boxer-primed brass, which is the standard for reloading and widely compatible with common equipment.

For .40 S&W shooters who value value without compromising on consistency, this is the workhorse load. The FMJ construction won't expand, making it ideal for paper or steel targets—not a carry or defensive choice, but exactly what you want for building repetitions at the range. CCI's track record for reliable ignition and straightforward ballistics means you'll spend your range session focused on fundamentals, not troubleshooting ammunition.
