Details
This case of .40 S&W ammo from PMC is a great way to
practice with your weapon without racking up a big tab for ammo. Each case
contains 1,000 rounds in twenty 50-round boxes.
Each cartridge uses a typical 165-grain flat pointed full metal jacket bullet
in a Boxer-primed reloadable brass case. When fired, the bullet achieves a
muzzle velocity of approximately 989 feet per second.
Manufactured by Poongsan Corporation in South Korea, PMC ammo is known for its cleanliness and consistency. Poongsan has acquired extensive experience in making large amounts of good ammo over several decades of handling ammo contracts for the South Korean military. The company's large capacity and economies of scale have allowed it to export a steady stream of ammunition to the US under the PMC brand.

Customer Reviews
Introduction:
Customer sentiment toward PMC .40 S&W 165gr FMJ ammunition is generally very positive, with most buyers using it for range practice and target shooting. Fast shipping, strong reliability, and good value are frequently cited, although a handful of users noted occasional reliability concerns.
Overall Rating:
Best For: Training, Range Practice
Key Pro: Consistently Reliable Performance
Key Nuance: Some Isolated Reports of Misfires/Duds
Detailed Analysis:
What Shooters Praise (The Pros)
Most users report excellent reliability across thousands of rounds, with very few malfunctions such as failures to fire (FTF) or failures to eject (FTE). A small minority experienced multiple duds or FTFs early on or with certain firearms, but these reports are rare compared to the overall feedback.
Accuracy and consistency are standout traits, often noted as excellent for target shooting and breaking in new firearms. Multiple reviewers praise the clean firing and tight groupings, with good results in various pistols. Some experienced issues specific to their firearm or technique, but the majority found the ammo highly compatible.
The ammunition is regularly highlighted as one of the best values available, with frequent bulk discounts and prices lower than big box stores. Buyers appreciate the combination of price and quality, as well as fast, intact shipping and consistently positive customer service experiences.
What to Know (The Nuances)
- Cleanliness: Ammo is generally perceived as clean-shooting, though a couple of users noted it was 'fairly clean' rather than spotless.
- Casing Material: Brass-cased, making it suitable for reloading; suited for users who reload their spent casings.
- Occasional Reliability Issues: There are sporadic reports of duds or misfires, with a few users experiencing higher failure rates in specific handguns.
- Firearm Sensitivity: A few negative experiences were linked to firearm compatibility or magazine seating issues, rather than the ammo itself.
- Price Fluctuations: Some buyers mentioned dissatisfaction when the product went on sale after their purchase.
Conclusion
PMC .40 S&W 165gr FMJ stands out as a top choice for bulk target shooting and training, delivering reliable, accurate, and clean performance at a competitive price. While a small number of users experienced sporadic reliability issues or firearm-specific challenges, the overwhelmingly positive feedback makes this ammunition a solid option for most recreational and practice shooters. Its brass casing adds value for reloaders, and consistent service from sellers further enhances the buying experience.

I'm very happy with the purchase of a case of these rounds. They have been very reliable so far, but I've only been through a couple boxes. The packaging was great and arrived completely intact with no damage, and I have to say BulkAmmo.com was crazy fast in getting them to me. (Posted on 2/24/2024)

Ordered/received the end of June '23. They were on sale, good price.
Those that shoot do the job, BUT... I have shot 4 boxes (200 of the 1000 purchased) and have 23 with fire pin strikes that failed in my semi-auto! Shells I have had less than 2 months! I CANNOT recommend these. Just too many failures... (Posted on 8/25/2023)

This was my first bulk ammo purchase and I don't regret it.
I have put 600+ rounds through my H&K VP40 and I am impressed. Not a single misfire, FTF, or FTE. It cycles perfectly even on a new-ish (about 500 rounds through before the PMC) gun. I like the 165gr round since it is much easier to reacquire targets than with the 180gr I was shooting. At 5 meters the groupings are tight, and at 10 meters I am still drilling 5-inch circles with ease, accounting for obvious shooter error.
The price is great compared to buying 250-round "bulk" packs at the big box store. Especially considering the reliability, accuracy, and cleanliness of this ammo.
I will be using this ammo almost exclusively from now on. (Posted on 3/24/2019)

I bought some if this for a defensive pistol class. I fired 1,500 rounds through my Gen 2 Glock 23 during the class and the only "cleaning" was wiping the outside of the muzzle so it didn't get my shirt dirty when I carried it to dinner. (It's a Glock, what else would you expect… reliability wise , they're the AK-47 of pistols!!! Lol) Very accurate (could poke an empty cartridge in a hole in the paper and hit it from 10-15 yds reliably), fairly clean, NO duds, NO FTF/FTE's.
OVERALL: I have purchased about 8,000 rounds of this and fired about 4,000 so far. 1 dud, 1 FTE (not counting firing limp wristed, upside down, pulling with my pinky… testing how well it cycles with only the spring to manage recoil and nothing really "behind it"). This will definitely be my "goto ammo" once my Gold Dot is expended!!! PMC ammo seems to be the best quality/price combo period!!! For those on a budget and wanting to store a few rounds, I wouldn't recommend anything else!!! (Posted on 6/12/2014)

My Px4 had 30 ftf s in the first 50 rounds. then 2 or 3 ftf every mag. I changed my grip to squeeze the mag into the well as tight as i could and no longer had ftfs. Pushing the mag in the 16th of an inch made the difference
i Bought 250 rounds of remington 40sw with zero ftf fte so im going back to remington when available. (Posted on 12/12/2012)

I bought this ammo to use at the range to break in my new gun and my first 50 rounds I had a couple FTE's but I am blaming that on the gun being new and breaking in....I have now ran 500(ish) rounds through the gun and no FTE's or and alibis despite the couple through the first 50 rds.
As for BulkAmmo, QUICK shipping great customer service. I am getting ready to make another purchase from there here in about 10 minutes! Can't wait! (Posted on 11/24/2012)

Q: Your site reads:
"This case of .40 S&W ammo from PMC is a great way to practice with your weapon without racking up a big tab for ammo. ==> Each case contains 1,000 rounds in 25 50-round boxes."
Correct me if I am wrong, but does not 25 x 50 = 1,250 rounds? So, which is 20 50 rd boxes for a total of 1000 rds, or 25 50 rd boxes for a total of 1250 rds?
Posted On: 11/11/2024 By: Norm D. Plm
A: Thanks for catching out typo, Norm. It is in fact packaged in twenty 50-round boxes.
Q: Does this ammo come in a box or an ammo can?
Posted On: 5/21/2014 By: Packaging?
A: Hello,
The case of these 165gr. FMJ rounds in .40 S&W by PMC comes in a box with 20 boxes of 50 rounds each. These make excellent target rounds!
