.40 S&W/10mm 165 Gr. TC

Write A Review

1. Overall ok, my gun is different and these are going to require more cleaning of optic lense.

   Shipping was a bit slow, but ok. Post office was very slow but not the fault of the shipper.
   
   The bullets look nice and are dust free. The sprue cut on the base of the bullet could be a bit smoother, but it does not seem to effect accuracy. I had to open the flare up a tiny bit on my cases to keep from shaving the coating when seating bullet.
   
   These bullets shoot 70fps faster than the same powder charge with an equal weight jacketed bullet. I dropped the powder charge .3 grains and got it down to 40fps over the jacketed velocity, I will drop it another .2 grains and run them there. Function in the gun is 100 percent, accuracy is equal to the 165 Jacketed bullets I have been shooting. My Tangfolio pistol is heavily ported with polygonal barrel and 14 ports, with low mounted optic close to the ports, These bullets are giving more residue spatter onto the optic lense than jacketed. Only downside as I will need to wipe the lense off every couple USPSA stages rather then only after every match. David Hineline on 13th Sep 2024

2. Top shelf product.

   Make no mistake, Bayou bullet sells a good quality product. They even do a good job packing bullets for shipment so they'll survive the rough handling.
   I'll be a customer as long as they're selling. Frank on 24th Jun 2024

3. Great Product

   Just switched from another manufacturer. Your bullets are more accurate in my TSO. Good price, quality and quick shipment Unknown on 27th May 2024

4. All around best coated bullets I've tried

   I've tried several brands, some more expensive from well known companies, and some that cost way less from lesser known companies. For whatever reason the Bayous always seem to be more consistent loads and more evenly coated than all others and they never lead or foul my barrels and seem to group tighter. I would wait months on Bayou pills than use cheaper brands I can get in days, it's just plain worth it. Skeetzappa on 23rd Feb 2024

5. Improved Performance

   I was currently using a .400 dia. bullet and I thought I would try one at .401 dia. I was pleased with the tighter groups and will probably switch to this one from Bayou. Unknown on 10th Feb 2024

6. Impressive

   You folks make a good product. Consistent size and finish. The coating seems to be durable and the best part, I save money.
   Copper jacketed and plated bullets have gone up in price considerably and probably won't be coming down anytime soon. Your products make shooting and reloading enjoyable again. Frank in Florida on 20th Dec 2023

7. Top Quality

   Easy to load, shoot straight, that's all I need! Unknown on 27th Sep 2023

8. Consistent Quality

   Bayou Bullets is my "go to" source for bullets in all of the pistol calibers I reload. They are consistent in quality and accurate on the range. Prices are competitive, and orders are filled on time. If you are still shooting plated or jacketed bullets, give these 165 grain polymer coated .40 S&W bullets a try...you won't be disappointed.

9. Good dual purpose for .40 S&W

   I recently made my first purchase from Bayou in search of a Hard Cast for my .40 that I could load very light for practice but also push hard for woods use. I already reviewed the 147 gr 9mm and this bullet hits the mark for my .40. Gun is a Glock 23 w/KKM aftermarket barrel. I've been using 165 & 180 gr plated bullets and they have shot very well. However, the ones I've been using are (IMO) too soft for woods use. From Bayou, I tried both the 165 FP and the 175 SWC. Both had good accuracy but the 175s proved to be problematic in feeding. However, these HC 165s gave equivalent feeding to the plated and of course a much harder bullet for woods carry. I loaded these to about 775 fps for practice and about 1150 for the woods. I was really interested in the 175 SWC but these 165s hit the mark right away and I told myself "don't overthink it" So.....one bullet for both target/training and the woods which was what I wanted!!!
