Underwood Ammo Hard Cast Flat Nose Handgun Ammunition 40 S&W 200gr FN 1000 fps 20/ct

Underwood Ammo Hard Cast Flat Nose handgun ammunition in .40 S&W delivers a rugged, subsonic round designed for shooters who want serious performance without excessive velocity. At 200 grains and a modest 1000 fps, this load prioritizes penetration and control—ideal for suppressed shooting, self-defense, and close-quarters work where reliability matters more than speed. The hard cast lead bullet and flat nose profile give you predictable, consistent performance downrange, while the nickel-plated brass casing resists corrosion and handles reloading if that's in your plans.

This is working ammo for working guns. Whether you're running a suppressor, testing a new defensive setup, or looking for subsonic practice rounds that won't tear up your ears or your hearing protection, Underwood's formula has earned respect among shooters who actually use their equipment. The hard cast construction means less leading in the barrel—a real benefit if you shoot suppressed or shoot often. At 444 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, you're getting a deliberate, controlled platform rather than a hot load chasing velocity numbers.

Each box contains 20 rounds of new production, non-corrosive ammunition. Boxer priming and reloadable brass mean you can stretch your dollar if you're willing to reload. The ammunition is suppressor-safe and engineered for self-defense applications, making it a solid choice for serious shooters who value substance over hype.
