The Magtech .500 S&W 325gr SJSP Flat Light (Magtech part no. 500L) is the lower-velocity jacketed soft point in the maker’s .500 S&W lineup. Magtech lists a muzzle velocity of 1380 fps from a 10-inch test barrel, well below the 1745 fps of its standard 325-grain soft point sibling. It uses the same 325-grain bullet weight in a brass case with a Large Rifle Primer. The maker describes jacketed soft point ammunition as delivering controlled expansion and accuracy for self-defense and hunting, and as an excellent choice where hollow points are restricted. A box holds 20 rounds.
