Description

The Magtech .500 S&W 325gr SJSP Flat load (Magtech part no. 500B) puts a 325-grain semi-jacketed soft point flat bullet in a brass case for the big-bore revolver. Magtech lists it with a 1745 fps muzzle velocity from a 10-inch test barrel, which places it between the lighter and heavier loads in the .500 S&W line. The maker describes jacketed soft point ammunition as built for controlled expansion and accuracy in both self-defense and hunting applications. It also notes that soft points are an excellent choice where hollow points are restricted. Each box holds 20 rounds, a sensible count for practice sessions and a hunt alike.
