A: Thanks for reaching out Joseph! As you may know, the 40 S&W is essentially a weaker, shortened down version of the 10mm. If you fire 40 S&W ammo in a 10mm pistol, the cartridge's case mouth is going to headspace off the extractor. This type of misperformance will flame cut the end of your pistol's chamber, and may even eventually injure you. A couple 40 S&W rounds won't immediately destroy your handgun by any means, but it is very bad for it in the long run. If you'd like to know more then I recommend reading this fella's blog post: rangehot.com/can-you-shoot-40-sw-out-of-your-10mm-auto/

A: Yes these are reloads. We also list the casing type as: Ammo Casings - Boxer primed once-fired brass, and have a disclaimer toward the bottom of the product information page indicating as such. Almost all of our ammunition is factory original and we make efforts to make it apparent if a product is re-manufactured.

A: Hello Joe,
The silver cases you see with the MBI rounds are nickel plated cases. They are brass cases like the others, but with a nickel plating. They are safe to shoot and are reloadable like the brass cases.

A: Hello Jeff,
These 180gr. FMJ rounds by MBI in .40 S&W have a lead core, copper jacket, and a brass case. They are non-magnetic and are safe to shoot on ranges that do not allow magnetic rounds. They make great target rounds.
