Federal Premium Safari Ammunition 500 Nitro Express 570 Grain Woodleigh Hydrostatically Stabilized Solid Bullets 20RD

The Federal Premium Safari .500 Nitro Express 570gr Woodleigh Solid is purpose-built for dangerous game hunting where deep penetration and reliable stopping power define success. This is a big-bore cartridge for hunters and guides working in Africa and other regions where large, thick-skinned game demands ammunition engineered without compromise. Each round pairs a 570-grain Woodleigh solid bullet with Federal's quality powder charge and primers, delivering the velocity and energy needed for consistent performance in demanding conditions.

The .500 Nitro Express has earned its reputation as one of the most effective large-caliber rifle cartridges in the world. The Woodleigh solid bullet—a monolithic design without a hollow point or soft lead core—penetrates straight and deep, resisting deflection even after encountering bone or heavy muscle. This approach differs fundamentally from expanding ammunition and makes it the go-to choice when you need a bullet to drive through regardless of angle or impact resistance.

Federal Premium ammunition manufacturing maintains strict quality control from component selection through final inspection, which matters when you're counting on one shot in the field. The 20-round box is the standard shipping unit for this caliber. Whether you're a professional guide stocking your camp or a hunter preparing for a serious expedition, Federal Premium Safari ammunition represents proven reliability in the caliber and bullet combination most trusted by dangerous game professionals.
