The .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum is the most powerful production revolver cartridge commercially available, firing a half-inch diameter bullet from a large-frame S&W X-frame revolver. Introduced in 2003 alongside the Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver, it was designed from the outset for handgun hunting of large and dangerous game, and remains a specialist calibre for hunters seeking revolver-class stopping power on bear, boar and other heavy species. Hornady's unprimed brass cases for the .500 S&W Magnum meet the same quality standards as the rest of the Hornady brass range: produced in smaller lots with tight controls on wall concentricity, wall thickness and case weight to ensure consistent performance across the batch. Cases are pressure calibration tested to confirm reliable expansion at the high pressures this cartridge generates, and weight-sorted to maintain uniform internal capacity for repeatable powder charges. For handloaders building serious hunting loads or experimenting with cast-bullet performance in this calibre, Hornady brass provides a dependable starting point. Supplied unprimed and trimmed ready for the press.
