Product Description
Experience supreme accuracy and reliable performance with Hornady Custom .500 S&W Magnum 300gr FTX. Crafted for the powerful .500 S&W Magnum platform, this loaded cartridge features Hornady’s innovative Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) technology, ensuring consistent results for hunters and sport shooters.
This product combines precision engineering with significant energy transfer. The 300gr FTX bullet provides a balanced option, delivering a flatter trajectory and exceptional energy for hunting medium to large game. Hornady Custom is renowned for its match-grade accuracy and consistent terminal performance, making it a trusted choice for your revolver.
-
FTX (Flex Tip) Technology: The patented soft polymer tip compresses into the bullet upon impact, initiating immediate and significant expansion even at lower velocities. This design also improves the ballistic coefficient for flatter shooting.
-
Reliable Performance: The InterLock® ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, ensuring high mass retention and deep penetration through tough hide and bone for effective hunting.
-
Optimised Trajectory: The streamlined secant ogive profile and Flex Tip design enable this bullet to fly straighter and retain velocity better than traditional flat-point handgun bullets.
-
Premium Components: Loaded in high-quality brass cases with carefully matched powders and primers to ensure optimal pressure and consistent velocities.
-
Versatile Application: Ideal for hunting medium to large game such as deer, elk, and bear, where rapid energy transfer is preferred.
