Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms are compatible with this .500 S&W Magnum ammunition?
This Hornady load is chambered in .500 S&W Magnum and is compatible with any firearm built for that cartridge, including the Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver, the Magnum Research BFR (Biggest Finest Revolver), and select single-shot pistols chambered in .500 S&W. Always verify your specific firearm's recommended cartridge specifications before use.
Is the Hornady XTP bullet effective for hunting large or dangerous game?
Absolutely. The XTP (Extreme Terminal Performance) bullet is one of Hornady's most trusted hunting projectiles, designed to expand reliably across a wide range of velocities while maintaining deep, controlled penetration. At 500 grains and 1,425 fps, this load generates over 2,250 ft-lbs of muzzle energy — more than sufficient for elk, bear, bison, and other large or potentially dangerous animals at typical handgun hunting ranges.
Can the brass cases be reloaded after firing?
Yes. Hornady Custom ammunition uses high-quality Boxer-primed brass cases that are well-suited for handloading. The .500 S&W case is a popular choice among reloaders who want to tailor loads for specific hunting applications or practice sessions. Inspect each case carefully after firing for any signs of stress or deformation before reloading.
