The Versatility of 10mm and .40 S&W Bullets

When it comes to performance and reliability, 10mm bullets and .40 S&W bullets stand out as two of the most effective handgun calibers. The 10mm Auto, introduced in 1983, became known for its higher velocity, powerful terminal ballistics, and unmatched stopping power. While recoil was more than some shooters preferred, this led to the development of the .40 S&W, a smaller package with lighter recoil that quickly gained popularity among law enforcement and self defense users.

At Berry’s Bullets, we specialize in producing superior plated bullets designed for accuracy, dependability, and versatility. Whether you’re reloading bullets into practice ammunition, tailoring grain weights for competition, or preparing for self defense, our 10mm and .40 caliber bullet collection delivers consistent results.

Terminal Ballistics Excellent penetration and expansion with hollow point or flat point bullets; suitable for larger targets Reliable penetration and wound channels with jacketed or hollow point loads when loaded in self defense ammo
Recoil Substantial recoil; improved accuracy with proper twist rate and competition barrel setups More manageable than 10mm but heavier than 9mm; controlled with effectiveness

 

Performance varies depending on the bullet type, load configuration, and firearm barrel used.

Types & Applications of 10mm and .40 S&W Bullets

Our plated bullet collection includes multiple profiles designed for accuracy, reliability, and specific shooting purposes. Available in 155gr, 165gr, 180gr, 200gr, and 220gr grain bullets.

 

  • Flat Point: Used for target shooting, hunting loads, and defensive carry. Provides reliable feeding with stronger energy transfer than round nose designs. Available in 155gr, 165gr, 180gr, 200gr, and 220gr grain bullets.
  • Hollow Base Flat Point: Designed for practice ammunition with lighter recoil. Hollow base supports softer loads and delivers consistent accuracy across yards.
  • Round Nose & Round Shoulder: Suited for practice ammunition and competition training. Ensures smooth feeding in semi-autos, maintains consistent overall length, and supports reliable accuracy.
  • Hybrid Hollow Point: Intended for self-defense and law enforcement when loaded in defensive ammunition. Precision cavity engineering delivers reliable expansion and consistent terminal performance.
  • Hollow Base Round Nose: Made for light training loads and reduced recoil practice ammunition. Soft lead core with plated finish reduces fouling, improves accuracy, and maintains cartridge consistency.

Common Applications for 10mm and .40 S&W Bullets

 

  • Self-Defense & Home Defense: Hollow point and hybrid designs deliver controlled expansion and reliable stopping power when loaded in defensive ammo.
  • Hunting: Heavy-grain 10mm bullets achieve deep penetration and higher velocity, making them effective when loaded in cartridges for medium game or bear defense.
  • Law Enforcement: The .40 S&W remains a proven caliber when bullets are loaded into duty ammunition, combining manageable recoil with stopping power.
  • Target Shooting: Flat point and round shoulder bullets excel in practice ammunition for competition barrels and standard range sessions.
