Description
The CorBon 500 SW 440gr HC load is built for shooters who want a proven 500 S&W Magnum round from a company that helped shape modern high-velocity handgun ammunition. Each box holds 12 cartridges loaded with a 440 grain hard cast bullet rated at 1625 feet per second, producing about 2580 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The hard cast flat nose bullet is made to hold its shape and drive deep instead of expanding, which makes it a top choice for the largest game a handgun hunter will pursue and for protection in bear country.
This 500 SW 440 grain hard cast load is rated from an 8.375 inch test barrel and ranks among the most powerful handgun loads CorBon makes.

Before you trust any new defensive load, fire at least 50 to 100 rounds through your handgun to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Rotate your carry ammo every so often, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box so the cartridges stay clean and easy to identify by lot number.
The 500 S&W Magnum produces heavy recoil and muzzle blast, so practice with the CorBon 500 SW 440gr HC from a steady rest, wear quality eye and ear protection, and confirm your point of impact before you hunt. Check local rules for handgun hunting requirements before heading afield.

Why Choose CorBon 500 SW Ammo
Heavy, hard cast bullets keep their weight and shape as they travel, so they can break heavy bone and reach the vitals on the largest animals. At a rated 1625 fps and 2580 foot-pounds, the 440 grain CorBon bullet delivers energy that rivals many rifle cartridges, while the wide flat nose helps it track straight through tissue.
When you compare 500 s&w magnum hunting ammo, bullet construction matters as much as raw power. This load is built for the Smith and Wesson Model 500 and Model 460/500 X-frame revolvers, the Magnum Research BFR and other firearms chambered in 500 S&W Magnum.
CorBon has built high-velocity defensive ammunition in South Dakota since 1982, when the company set out to solve a common problem: hollow points that plugged with clothing and failed to expand. That focus on real-world performance is still at the heart of every box. Corbon 500 sw ammo is loaded to tight standards so shot-to-shot velocity stays consistent, which helps you build confidence in the same load you train with and carry.
Big game hunters, guides and anyone who travels in grizzly country with a 500 S&W Magnum will find this load a confident choice when maximum penetration comes first. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 500 S&W Magnum, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
