Speer 4402 TMJ .40 Cal 180gr Total Metal Jacket Ammo - 100 Rounds

Speer 4402 TMJ .40 Cal 180gr Total Metal Jacket bullets are purpose-built for reloaders who want reliable, clean-shooting handgun ammunition without the mess. These 180-grain projectiles use Speer's Uni-Cor manufacturing process, which pours molten lead directly into the jacket to completely encase the core—eliminating the voids and inconsistencies found in conventional swaged designs. The result is a bullet that holds its shape under pressure and won't deform at the base, even in hotter loads.

The Total Metal Jacket design means full coverage—no exposed lead, which keeps your firearm cleaner and makes them safe for use in ported or compensated handguns without fouling the ports. Whether you're loading for competition, duty practice, or general range work with your .40 caliber handgun, TMJ bullets reduce cleanup time and simplify your reloading process. Each box contains 100 bullets and includes the benefit of Speer's dual swaging process, ensuring a uniform heel and consistent diameter across the entire batch for predictable velocities and tight groups.

If you're serious about handloading, you already know that bullet quality directly affects how your loads perform. Speer's track record in the ammunition industry translates to components you can trust, from the first round to the last. These bullets deliver the power and reliability reloaders expect without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use TMJ bullets in a ported or compensated .40 pistol?

Yes—one of the key advantages of Total Metal Jacket bullets is that they won't foul ported recoil compensators. The complete jacket covering prevents lead particles from escaping, keeping your ports clean.

What's the difference between Speer TMJ and standard jacketed bullets?

Speer's Uni-Cor process melts lead directly into the jacket rather than swaging it afterward, creating a seamless bond with no internal voids. This eliminates base deformation under pressure and delivers more consistent performance across all your reloads.

How many bullets are in this box?

This box contains 100 rounds of .40 caliber, 180-grain TMJ bullets.

Are these bullets suitable for both target shooting and self-defense loads?

These are reloading components designed for handloaders to assemble according to their own specifications and load data. How you load them determines their intended use.
