Description
In territory that could prove treacherous in a heartbeat, it pays to be ever-vigilant and always ready. The HSM Bear Load in 500 S&W Magnum is purpose-built for dangerous-game situations where stopping power is non-negotiable – whether you are defending camp from a charging bear or carrying a big-bore revolver deep in the backcountry. Each round is loaded with a heavy-for-caliber, hard-cast, gas-checked lead bullet precisely matched with temperature-stable powders and primers, all housed in high-quality brass cases.
This specific load drives a 440 gr Wide Flat Nose (WFN) gas-checked hard-cast bullet at 1500 fps, generating 2199 ft lbs of muzzle energy from a 500 S&W Magnum revolver. The wide flat nose profile is engineered to crush deep and straight through heavy muscle and bone, while the gas-checked base protects the lead from bore deformation under the high pressures generated in such a large cartridge. HSM’s carefully developed Bear Load lineup makes each caliber a purpose-built tool for serious big-game defense.
HSM manufactures all of its ammunition in the USA to tight quality standards, and every component – from the boxer-primed brass case to the hard-cast lead bullet – is selected for dependable performance in the field. Whether you are a guide working grizzly country, an Alaskan bush pilot, or simply a handgunner who values terminal performance, this load is built to deliver when it counts.
