Sierra Sports Master Handgun Bullets .44 cal .429" 300 gr JSP 50/ct$44.11
Availability: In Stock
The Sierra Sports Master .500" 400 grain JSP handgun bullet is purpose-built for hunters and handloaders working with the .500 Smith & Wesson cartridge and other large-bore applications. This is a serious projectile for serious game—designed with the hard-charging dynamics of moose, brown bear, and other heavy animals in mind. The cannelure placement and construction philosophy make it a natural fit for .500 S&W revolvers, though it's equally at home in rifles chambered for this caliber or similar large-bore cartridges.
What sets this bullet apart is its architecture: a tough lead core reinforced with heavy antimony, paired with a thick jacket engineered for deep, consistent penetration on large game. The wide meplat (nose profile) makes it compatible with lever-action rifles using tubular magazines, and that same design delivers a substantial wound channel—you're looking at a half-inch hole through soft tissue, whether or not expansion occurs. When fired at rifle velocities, the bullet demonstrates more reliable expansion than it might from handgun loads, making it versatile across multiple platforms.
This isn't a bullet for varmints or target shooting; it's designed for hunters who need to anchor big animals reliably. The construction favors penetration over explosive expansion, which means it may not be the ideal choice for smaller game where a softer, more expansion-prone bullet would perform better. Each box contains 50 bullets, allowing handloaders to prepare a meaningful supply for their .500 S&W sessions or custom large-bore rifle loads.

The Sierra 400gr .500" JSP is designed for the .500 Smith & Wesson revolver and rifles chambered in .500 S&W or other large-bore cartridges that use .500" diameter projectiles. The wide meplat also makes it suitable for lever-action rifles with tubular magazines.
This bullet prioritizes penetration over expansion. At handgun velocities from a revolver, expansion may be limited; however, when fired at higher rifle velocities, you can expect more reliable expansion. The design will create a substantial wound channel—a half-inch diameter hole—even without expansion.
No. This bullet's heavy construction and penetration-first design make it too tough for reliable expansion on smaller animals. It's engineered specifically for large game like moose and brown bear.
Each box contains 50 Sierra Sports Master .500" 400 grain JSP bullets.
