The Cor-Bon Hunting .500 S&W Magnum 440gr Hard Cast load (Cor-Bon part no. 500SW440H) is built for hunters who need maximum penetration on the largest, most dangerous game. Cor-Bon has spent decades developing hunting ammunition for shooters chasing tough game around the world, and this hard cast bullet does not expand the way a jacketed hollow point does; instead its flat, wide meplat drives a straight, deep wound channel through heavy muscle and bone without losing weight or deforming. That makes it a serious choice among handgun ammunition for a dangerous-game backup revolver.
