Woodleigh 500 S&W (.500″) Bullets – 25 Ct Box

Woodleigh S&W bullets in the 500 S&W (.500 inch) size are heavy, hard hitting hunting projectiles for one of the most powerful production revolver cartridges made. These are new Woodleigh bullets, packaged 25 to a box, in a 400 grain flat nose soft nose configuration built for serious handgun hunting. The 500 S&W Magnum was designed to take the largest game a handgun can reasonably tackle, and it needs a stout, deep driving bullet to do the job. Woodleigh S&W bullets bring proven construction and a wide meplat to a cartridge that thrives on both. If you handload for a big bore revolver, this is a projectile worth building around.

Specifications woven into your load

A 400 grain bullet at .500 inch carries the mass and frontal area that make the 500 S&W such a capable hunting round. The flat nose soft nose construction opens on impact while the broad meplat keeps the wound channel wide, a combination that favors penetration and energy transfer over flashy fragmentation. Because these are heavy for the bore, they pair naturally with stout charges worked up carefully from published data. With 25 bullets per box, you have enough to develop a hunting load and still keep rounds ready for the field. Woodleigh S&W bullets reward the handloader who wants dependable terminal results.

Keep the box dry so the soft points stay clean until you seat and crimp them firmly against recoil. As a component bullet and not loaded ammunition, they suit any handloader already set up for the 500 S&W.

Building a serious handgun hunting load

The 500 S&W Magnum is a hunting cartridge first and foremost, and heavy bullets like these are what unlock its potential. A stout projectile at full frontal diameter is what drives through heavy muscle and bone to reach the vitals of large game. Developing a load around a proven heavyweight lets you match recoil and penetration to the animals you hunt, whether that is big bear or tough plains game. That is control a factory box simply cannot offer.

Crimp matters more than usual with a cartridge this powerful. Heavy recoil will try to pull bullets out of the case in the cylinder, so a firm roll crimp into the cannelure keeps everything in place shot to shot. Work your load up carefully, confirm it holds together under recoil, and you will have ammunition you can stake a hunt on. A revolver this capable deserves that kind of attention.

For the big bore revolver hunter, Woodleigh S&W bullets bring heavyweight construction and deep, dependable penetration to the 500 S&W Magnum. Order your 25 count box today and build a load you can count on. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
