Buffalo Bore Ammunition 18B20 Personal Defense Strickly Business 500 S&W Mag 440 gr Gas Checked Lead Flat Nose 20 Per Box/ 12 Cs

Buffalo Bore Ammunition's 500 S&W Mag Personal Defense Strictly Business load pairs raw stopping power with precision engineering for shooters who demand serious defensive capability. Built on 440-grain gas-checked lead flat-nose bullets, this ammunition delivers the kind of terminal performance expected from a magnum revolver cartridge designed for self-defense and hunting alike. Whether you're running a 500 S&W revolver for backcountry protection or competition, Buffalo Bore's meticulous hand-loading ensures consistency and reliability round after round.

The gas-checked construction—a feature borrowed from serious rifle ammunition—stabilizes the lead bullet during flight and helps it perform reliably across varying barrel lengths and velocities. The flat-nose profile is engineered for controlled expansion and penetration, the kind of terminal ballistics that matter when you're counting on your handgun to perform. This is ammunition built for shooters who understand that power without control is wasted effort.

Buffalo Bore ships in 20-round boxes; bulk buyers can order by the case (12 boxes per case for convenient restocking). If you shoot a 500 S&W and take your defensive load seriously, this is the kind of ammunition that rewards careful shot placement and barrel time spent at the range. Not every revolver cartridge commands this level of attention to detail—this one does.
