50rds – 40 S&W Federal Syntech 165gr. TSJ Ammo

Federal Ammunition 165 Grain Specialty Ammo Details

This next-gen .40 S&W load from Federal's "Syntech" line is guaranteed cut your cleaning schedule, extend the life of your firearm, and enhance your overall shooting experience. Syntech cartridges are comprised of conventional components such as reloadable brass casings and non-corrosive Boxer primers but also utilize the all-new Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ) projectile. TSJ bullets are built by taking a traditional lead core and completely encapsulating it with a polymer jacket. This not only reduces the amount of lead fouling left behind in the firearm, but decreases metal-on-metal contact and the resulting heat in order to preserve a barrel's condition and long-term accuracy.

This combined effort to keep your carry or competition gun cleaner ensures its dependable function when you need it! Syntech ammunition is also healthier to shoot indoors since is has a very low effect on air quality in cramped environments. In production, the synthetic jacket is easier to control for uniform diameter and density and also minimizes the occurrence of ricochets when striking steel targets. The 165 grain projectiles are common to the .40 caliber and are loaded for manageable recoil and flat in-flight trajectory.

Federal is one of the most trusted names in the ammunition industry and has been introducing unique innovations to the market since the early 1920s. Their reputable quality and trend-setting designs have been a great asset to hunters, law enforcement personnel, and champion level match shooters.

    I love how these syntech TSJ cut back on cleanings, I can get at least 50+ through the barrel before another cleaning. Fantastic brand.

    I recently went through 400 rounds of this ammunition on a pistol class taught by Rob Pincus. I was a little concerned that the polymer jacket might not stand up to the heat and blazing sunshine, but I had zero malfunctions, and my weapon did seem less dirty than I was expecting. I can't attest to the friction heat reduction because I couldn't adjust for my weapon being in the sun, but the bottom line is that this ammunition seems to perform as advertised.
