Magtech - Semi Jacketed Soft Point - 325 Grain 500 S&W Magnum Light Ammo - 20 Rounds

Smith & Wesson’s effort to claim the title of most powerful handgun cartridge in the world was realized in 2003 with the introduction of the .500 S&W accompanied by the company’s X-Frame revolver. Designed to take down any game that resides on the North American continent, the .500 firmly establishes itself as a caliber that brooks no challengers. The ballistic energies possible out of a new line of rifles and carbines is even more awe inspiring and have made the cartridge a little more manageable for more shooters.

Magtech’s 325 grain, soft point bullet is lightly charged to have a muzzle velocity of 1378 feet per second with about 1371 foot pounds of energy. While a “light” round compared to the cartridge’s full potential, it is still quite capable of taking on most medium to large sized game or for use in self-defense.

Magtech has established itself as a company of expanding lines of purpose specific ammunition. Well known for providing range training or target shooting ammunition, a growing production capability of personal defense and hunting rounds is available with new lines introduced every year. As with all of their cases, boxer primers allow for reloading by handloaders of this performance caliber.
