Hello
How much explosive is there in the WDU-40B warhead? For comparison, I’ve read that the AGM-158 WDU-42B (1000 lbs) contains 240 lbs of AFX-757.

The casing of the WDU-40/B warhead weighs about 130 kg. So if the entire warhead weighs 360 kg, its PBXC-129 explosive fill must weigh around 230 kg.
