Magtech - Semi Jacketed Soft Point - 400 Grain 500 S&W Magnum Ammo - 20 Rounds

With the .38 Special to the .357 and .44 (developed in partnership with Remington) magnums, Smith & Wesson has a tradition of always being at the forefront of bigger or faster cartridges. This was temporarily eclipsed with the .454 Casull, yet the developers at S&W were not to be in the shadows long. From the start, the .500 S&W Magnum was designed to be a handgun cartridge powerful enough to take down anything on the North American continent, if not the most powerful handgun cartridge on the continent. With the number of rifles being designed in this caliber, it is a round that can arguably take down anything that walks the surface of the planet. Magtech's semi jacketed soft point 400 grain bullet has a muzzle velocity of 1608 feet per second with 2297 foot pounds of energy. The bullet design is for hunting. Either as a back up caliber for dangerous game or for the primary round itself.

Since 1990 Magtech has become well known in the US for its range and training ammunition as well s the value of the boxer primed reloadable cases. Reloading being of particular interest for shooters of this caliber. That reputation for economy and value has extended to Magtech's purpose driven rounds, such as these.
