Dead Nuts 10mm / 40 Cal (.400″) 165gr JHP Bullets

The Dead Nuts cal 165gr JHP is a brand new, made in the USA jacketed hollow point bullet in 10mm and 40 caliber (.400 inch), built for handloaders who want quality projectiles at a value price. These are bullets for reloading, not loaded ammunition, so you assemble your own 10mm or 40 S&W cartridges. At 165 grains and .400 inch, this projectile is a versatile middleweight that works for both the hot 10mm Auto and the everyday 40 S&W. If you load your own 10mm or 40 caliber ammunition, these American made hollow points belong on your bench.

What the Dead Nuts cal 165gr JHP Is and Who It Is For

This is a jacketed hollow point bullet for reloading, made in the USA, not loaded ammunition. The 165 grain weight sits between the light and heavy options for the 40 caliber cartridges, giving you a flexible bullet for practice, defense, and general shooting. In the 10mm Auto it makes for a snappy, high energy load, while in the 40 S&W it delivers balanced recoil and reliable performance. The jacketed hollow point construction controls fouling and is designed to open on impact. Handloaders who feed a 10mm or 40 S&W pistol and want dependable, American made hollow points are exactly who these serve.

A 165 grain bullet is the flexible middleweight of the 40 caliber world, splitting the difference between light speed demons and heavy deep drivers. In the 40 S&W it gives balanced recoil and reliable performance, and in the 10mm Auto it makes a snappy, high energy load.

Loading one bullet for two cartridges is efficient, but it demands good record keeping so a hot 10mm recipe never gets confused with a milder 40 S&W load. Build each from its own published data, confirm feeding in your pistol, and label everything clearly.

For the shooter who runs both a 10mm and a 40, one bullet that serves both keeps the bench simple. Build each load from its own data and label everything, and you are covered for practice and defense.

Specifications Woven Into the Load

Each bullet weighs 165 grains and measures .400 inch, the correct diameter for the 10mm Auto and 40 S&W. Quantities run 100 count for load testing and 500 count for stocking up once your recipe is set. The copper jacket over a lead core keeps barrels cleaner and helps the hollow point open at handgun velocities. Because these are components, build your load from published data for the exact cartridge you are loading, whether that is the higher pressure 10mm or the 40 S&W. Confirm feeding and velocity in your pistol so your ammunition runs reliably and performs as intended.

Practical Use, Care, and Compatibility

Load these into 10mm Auto or 40 S&W brass, set a consistent taper crimp, and confirm the rounds cycle in your specific pistol before you rely on them. Because the same bullet serves two cartridges, label your loads clearly so a hot 10mm recipe never gets mixed with a 40 S&W load. Store the bullets dry so the jackets stay clean and corrosion free until reloading day. Complete a pistol reloading kit with brass, powder, and primers from the rest of our handgun reloading gear. These bullets ship direct where state and local law allows.
