Description
The .500 S&W is known for delivering maximum power from a handgun, and this Ultramax load finds the sweet spot between overkill and practicality. At 1350 feet per second, you're getting a hard cast hollow point that handles everything from whitetail deer to the largest bears North America has to offer.
Balanced Power for Serious Hunting
That 440-grain bullet weight sits right in the middle of what works best for the .500 S&W. It's heavy enough to carry serious energy downrange without requiring magnum handgun-specific training, and it maintains velocity better than lighter options. The hard cast construction means the bullet stays together during penetration, which matters when you're counting on deep, reliable expansion through thick hide and muscle.
Built to Ultramax Standards
Every round gets a visual inspection before it ships, and all ammunition is loaded to SAAMI specifications. The brass cases are boxer-primed and fully reloadable, so if you're the type who likes to maintain and refresh your brass, you've got good material to work with. That's value that extends well beyond the initial shot.
What You're Getting
Twenty rounds per box of 440-grain hard cast hollow point ammunition, manufactured with the care that serious hunters expect. The hollow point cavity is designed to provide controlled expansion while the hard cast bullet base drives through regardless of what's in front of it. This is ammunition built for serious work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is this .500 S&W Magnum ammo suitable for?
This 440-grain load works well on North American big game including elk, moose, black and brown bear, and other large species. The hard cast hollow point bullet is designed to penetrate deeply while expanding for reliable energy transfer. Shot placement and understanding the limitations of handgun hunting remain critical for ethical hunting.
Can I reload the brass from this ammunition?
Yes, the brass cases are boxer-primed and designed to be fully reloadable. Since the cases are already quality brass, they represent good reloading material for handloaders who want to customize their loads or reduce long-term ammunition costs.
How does the 440-grain load compare to lighter .500 S&W options?
The 440-grain bullet is heavier than lighter 300 to 350-grain loads, which means more energy and deeper penetration on big game. It's lighter than extreme 500+ grain options, so it's easier to shoot accurately while still delivering serious power. This makes it a practical middle-ground choice for most .500 S&W hunting applications.
Is this ammunition loaded to standard specifications?
Yes, all Ultramax ammunition is loaded to SAAMI specifications and undergoes visual inspection of every loaded cartridge before it leaves the facility. This ensures consistent performance and reliable function across the entire box.
