Federal 500 Nitro 570gr SAF – Powerful .500 Nitro Express Dangerous Game Ammo, 2100 fps, 20 Rounds

Description

The Federal 500 Nitro 570gr SAF load is built for shooters who want more from their .500 Nitro Express than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 570 grain Swift A-Frame to a rated 2100 feet per second, producing about 5583 foot-pounds of energy. The Swift A-Frame has a partition of copper that separates a bonded front core from a rear core, expanding widely while the base holds together for deep penetration.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.

Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 500 Nitro 570gr SAF until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

The Nitro Express cartridges were developed in Britain around the turn of the twentieth century for double rifles used on elephant, buffalo and other dangerous game. They operate at moderate pressures that suit the regulated barrels of double rifles, and they remain the classic choice for hunters who want a fast second shot at close range.
