Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .500 Magnum Ammo for Sale
What is a 500 magnum good for?
.500 S&W Magnum is used for hunting large and dangerous game, including bear, moose, and elk, and for protection against dangerous animals in remote areas. Its energy exceeds most handgun cartridges, but heavy recoil makes it best suited for experienced shooters.
Which is more powerful, 45-70 or 500 S&W Magnum?
The .500 S&W Magnum produces up to 2,800 ft-lbs of muzzle energy versus typical .45-70 loads at 1,500–2,100 ft-lbs. However, from a rifle barrel the .45-70 can match or exceed the .500 S&W, and it offers better performance at distance and superior penetration, making a simple close-range vs. long-range comparison misleading.
How much does a .500 magnum pistol cost?
.500 S&W Magnum revolvers currently cost $1,600–$2,000 new. Smith & Wesson's Model 500 sells for roughly $1,580–$1,990 at retail. Taurus Raging Hunter variants run $900–$1,100. Prices vary by barrel length, condition, and retailer. Used examples often sell below current retail prices.
How far will a 500 magnum shoot?
The .500 S&W Magnum is effective to roughly 50–100 yards from a handgun, depending on barrel length and shooter skill. Bullet drop increases significantly beyond that. Rifles chambered in .500 can extend effective range further, but handgun accuracy drops off sharply past 100 yards.
