40/10mm (.400) 180 Grain Shouldered Flat Point Plated Bullets
Our 180 Grain Shouldered Flat Point 40/10mm plated bullets deliver an excellent balance between quality and value. These bullets begin as lead cores that are struck to a precise starting weight. These cores then undergo a multi-step heavy copper plating process that deposits an approximately 0.008″ thickness of copper that completely encompasses the lead core. These copper-plated bullets are then restruck to exact dimensions and visually inspected. This process delivers consistent bullets batch after batch ensuring your shots are right on target every time. These plated bullets offer a great balance between quality and value. This allows you to shoot the same bullet during practice that you would during a match without blowing your budget.
This bullet is offered in a shouldered flat-point design. This is similar to a truncated cone. The major difference is that the transition from the body of the bullet to the point is a softer, rounded shoulder as opposed to a crisp edge found on a truncated cone projectile.
The typical plating thickness of plated bullets on the market today is 0.003-0.006 inches. The heavy plating of our bullets, 0.008 inches, is a distinct advantage over others. This thicker total copper jacket allows you to achieve FMJ velocities without the cost. You may also see these bullets referred to as Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) or Complete Metal Jacket (CMJ) bullets.
Not only are plated bullets less expensive than traditional FMJ pistol bullets, but they are also cleaner and safer to shoot. Why? The plating fully encapsulates the lead. With FMJs the base of the bullet contains exposed lead that will vaporize when the round is fired. This is eliminated with plated bullets.

We recommend using comparable bullet-loading data from a reliable source as a starting point. Increase your powder load incrementally until you achieve your desired power and accuracy.

Havnt shot them yet but they all loaded nicely, I would say they are easily as good as the big name coated bullets, actualy seem to have a nicer more consistent coating than what I’m used to, well see how they shoot later this week out of a 10mm at what should be around 1100-1150 fps

This is my second box of these bullets. I have bought 9mm ones and 44 cal Excellent quality! I wish I had found this company sooner. These are way better than Berrys and extreme bullets. Will continue to buy from Evergreen Ballistics!
