About the .40 Super Cartridge
The .40 Super is a high-pressure cartridge designed to deliver performance that bridges the gap between the .40 S&W and 10mm Auto. It offers significantly increased velocity and energy compared to standard .40 S&W loads when fired from a properly converted firearm.
Because of its higher operating pressures, this cartridge should only be used in firearms specifically built or converted for .40 Super.
220 Grain Hard Cast Flat Nose – Why It Matters
The hard cast flat nose bullet is purpose-built for:
-
Deep, straight-line penetration
-
Minimal bullet deformation
-
Reliable performance against tough barriers
-
Hunting medium-sized game

Backcountry or wilderness defense
Unlike hollow points that expand, hard cast bullets are designed to maintain shape, making them ideal where penetration is critical.
