The Sellier & Bellot .40 S&W NonTox TFMJ 180 gr ammunition is engineered for clean-shooting handgun training and competition. Utilising a heavy-metal-free NonTox primer and a Total Full Metal Jacket (TFMJ) projectile, this factory brass-cased load prevents hot propellant gases from contacting the lead core, eliminating airborne lead, barium, mercury, and antimony emissions upon firing. Fired from a standard 102 mm (4.0 in) test barrel, it produces a muzzle velocity of 295 m/s (968 fps) and a muzzle energy of 509 J (375 ft-lb).

Key Features

• NonTox Primer Formulation: Heavy-metal-free priming compound eliminates toxic lead, barium, mercury, and antimony emissions in enclosed environments.
• Total Full Metal Jacket (TFMJ): Fully encapsulated CuZn 10 brass alloy jacket seals the lead base to stop hot propellant gases from vaporising lead, reducing airborne heavy-metal particulates and barrel fouling.
• Ballistic Trajectory: Based on a 25 m zero (0.0 cm / +0.2 cm at 12.5 m), trajectory drop is -5.9 cm at 50 m and -41.6 cm at 100 m.
• Reloadable Factory Brass: Boxer-primed standard-pressure brass casing with an overall cartridge length of 28.80 mm (1.134 in).
• Standard Power Factor: Delivers an estimated power factor of 174.2 kgr·fps to meet standard competition thresholds.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot 40 S&W 180gr Non-Tox Tfmj 50 Pack for?

• Indoor Range Handgun Shooters — Requires zero heavy-metal primer emissions and a fully encapsulated 180 gr TFMJ projectile that fires at 295 m/s without vaporising airborne lead particles into enclosed firing bays.
• IPSC Practical Shooting Competitors — Delivers a calculated 174.2 kgr·fps power factor and 509 J of muzzle energy from a 180 gr bullet to satisfy Major power factor division scoring requirements in .40 S&W target ammunition.

Less suitable for: Handgun hunting or practical applications requiring controlled terminal expansion, as this non-expanding TFMJ projectile is engineered strictly for paper or steel target shooting; expanding jacketed hollow point (JHP) ammunition is better suited for controlled terminal expansion.
