The Hornady Custom 500 S&W Magnum 500 Grain XTP JFN ammo is purpose-built for hunters and shooters who demand serious stopping power from a handgun platform. This 20-round box of big-bore centerfire rounds pairs Hornady's reputation for quality control with the proven ballistic design of the XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet—a choice that's earned trust across dangerous game hunting, silhouette competition, and hard-hitting defensive scenarios where the .500 S&W Magnum's raw power justifies the recoil.

Hornady manufactures most of the brass in this Custom line in-house, ensuring consistent chamber feeding, corrosion resistance, and reliable pressure handling shot to shot. The powder charge is meticulously matched to velocity and pressure curves, and primers are selected to ignite cleanly and reliably with each load. The result is ammunition that shoots where you aim and performs as advertised—no surprises downrange when it counts.

The 500-grain XTP projectile is engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration, characteristics essential in a cartridge this powerful. Whether you're at the reloading bench studying factory loads or running these rounds through a revolver or specialized handgun, this ammunition represents the engineering-forward approach Hornady brings to every round they produce.
