The .500 S&W Magnum has earned its reputation as the most powerful production handgun cartridge, and Cor-Bon's 440 grain hard cast load represents the upper end of what this platform can deliver. Built on decades of Cor-Bon's experience developing hunting ammunition for dangerous game, this load channels everything the .500 Magnum can offer into a single, uncompromising package.
The 440 grain hard cast bullet design prioritizes straight-line penetration over expansion. This approach works because the bullet's sheer mass and velocity create a wide permanent wound channel while the hard casting keeps the projectile from fragmenting or deflecting. At 1625 fps, this load generates approximately 2580 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, putting it in rarified air compared to other handgun cartridges. The flat nose profile cuts through dense tissue and bone with authority, making it particularly suited for large, thick-skinned game.
Cor-Bon developed the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge itself in partnership with Smith & Wesson when the Model 500 revolver debuted in 2003. The company brought over three decades of dedicated hunting ammunition research to the table, and that expertise carries through to every load they produce. The hard cast bullets they use retain nearly 100% of their weight, meaning virtually all the energy transfers to the target rather than being lost to bullet deformation.
Each box contains 12 rounds loaded into reloadable brass cases. The ammunition uses quality components throughout, designed for reliable feeding in compatible .500 S&W Magnum revolvers. This is heavy-for-caliber ammunition that demands respect from anyone running it—recoil is substantial and shot placement matters tremendously.
Yes, this ammunition is loaded to factory specifications and will function safely in any .500 S&W Magnum revolver. The 440 grain hard cast bullets were specifically designed to deliver maximum penetration, making them ideal for hunting applications where deep, straight-line performance is critical.
The hard cast design and heavy bullet weight make this load particularly effective on large, dangerous game with thick hides and heavy bone structure. It's well-suited for bear, moose, elk, and similar heavy game where penetration is more important than expansion.
Yes, the ammunition comes in reloadable brass cases, which is noted in the product specifications. The cases are designed for safe reloading as long as you follow proper handloading procedures and published load data for the .500 S&W Magnum.
The 440 grain hard cast load generates substantial recoil that many shooters describe as firm and unforgiving. This ammunition is best suited for experienced shooters accustomed to powerful magnum loads. The recoil impulse is straight rearward rather than snappy, which some shooters find more manageable than sharper recoil impulses.
