PPU 10mm (.400″) / 40 Cal 200gr RFN Bullets

These PPU Cal 200gr RFN bullets are brand new plated projectiles built for handloaders who run 10mm Auto and 40 Cal. At 200 grains with a round flat nose profile, these PPU Cal 200gr RFN bullets sit at the heavy end of the range, ideal for deeper penetration and steady, thumping performance. They are reloading components, not loaded ammunition, so you build every round to your own recipe. If you like heavy 10mm and 40 loads, this is a component worth stocking.

What the PPU Cal 200gr RFN bullets are and who they suit

The PPU Cal 200gr RFN bullets measure .400 inches in diameter and weigh 200 grains, a heavy weight for the 40 caliber family. The plated construction gives you a clean shooting bullet at a friendly price, while the round flat nose feeds smoothly and punches clean holes in paper. These are reloading components only, not primed or loaded until you build them.

These bullets suit shooters who load heavy 10mm Auto and 40 S&W for the range, the woods, or steady target work. The 200 grain weight offers a different feel than the common 180 grain loads, with more momentum and a slower, more deliberate recoil impulse.

Specifications and details

The grain weight is 200 gr and the profile is a round flat nose, or RFN. The .400 inch diameter is the standard bore shared by 10mm Auto, 40 S&W, and 40 caliber cartridges, so these drop into your existing dies. Plated bullets bridge the gap between plain lead and full jacketed, shooting cleaner than cast while costing less than jacketed.

Because plating is thinner than a true jacket, plated bullets are typically loaded at low to moderate velocities, which suits practice and general range work perfectly. The heavy 200 grain weight also makes for a soft shooting load that many shooters enjoy.

Reloading, care, and compatibility

Use published data for your cartridge and keep velocities in the range recommended for plated bullets, applying only a light taper crimp so you do not cut the plating. Start below maximum and work up while watching for pressure signs. Store the bullets dry and clean until you are ready to load.

These bullets seat with any standard .400 die set and feed through the vast majority of 10mm and 40 pistols. Learn more about the maker at PPU, then browse our apparel and gear category for brass and primers.

Heavy plated economy

Plated bullets occupy a useful middle ground between plain cast lead and full metal jacket. They shoot cleaner than bare lead, produce less smoke and fouling, and cost noticeably less than jacketed projectiles, which makes them a favorite for high volume practice. For range work and steady target shooting, they are hard to beat on value.

The heavy 200 grain weight gives this bullet a distinctive personality. In both 10mm and 40 caliber loads, the extra mass produces deeper penetration and a slower, more deliberate recoil impulse that many shooters find comfortable. It is a pleasant departure from the snappier feel of lighter, faster loads.

To get the best from plated bullets, keep velocities in the moderate range the plating is designed for, and apply only a light taper crimp so you do not cut through the plating. Buy in a 500 count quantity, store the bullets dry, and you will have a supply of clean, affordable range ammunition components ready to load.
