Hornady 9mm .355 147-grain full metal jacket round-nose bullets are a reloader's go-to for high-volume target sessions and competition shooting. This bulk pack of 2,500 rounds (25 boxes of 100) gives you the consistency and reliability that serious shooters depend on, whether you're running drills at the range, working up handloads, or prepping ammunition for match day. The 147-grain weight in 9mm provides a smooth-shooting, low-recoil option that tracks true downrange.
What sets Hornady FMJ bullets apart is the engineering under the jacket. The core is cold-swaged from pure lead, eliminating the voids and inconsistencies that can throw off bullet-to-bullet performance. That swaging process locks in the kind of balance and stability that translates to tighter groups and more predictable velocity from round to round—critical when you're chasing accuracy at volume. The full metal jacket protects the nose and sides, meaning no exposed lead and no risk of jacket separation under firing stress, even when you're pushing loads hard through semi-auto pistols.
The round-nose profile and matched jacket thickness work together to deliver the sleek ballistics you'd expect from factory match ammunition, but at a per-round cost that makes it realistic to stockpile for serious practice. With 2,500 rounds on hand, you can focus on technique and load development without rationing brass or hesitating to run another string.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best use for 147-grain 9mm FMJ bullets?
The 147-grain weight works well for target shooting, practice reloads, and range sessions where accuracy and reliability matter more than expansion. The heavier bullet delivers a softer shooting experience in most 9mm platforms, making it popular for high-volume drills and match preparation.
Can I use these bullets in my semi-automatic pistol?
Yes. Hornady designed these FMJ bullets specifically for reliable functioning in semi-automatic handguns. The jacket and round-nose profile are engineered to feed and cycle smoothly.
Why is the swaged core important?
Cold-swaging the lead core eliminates voids and inconsistencies within the bullet, resulting in better balance and stability in flight. This consistency round to round helps you achieve tighter groups and more predictable velocity when you're reloading.
How much ammunition is in each box?
Each of the 25 boxes contains 100 bullets, for a total of 2,500 rounds in this bulk pack.
