Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition safe to use in a suppressed .500 S&W Magnum?

Yes. Underwood Ammo specifically designed this load to be suppressor-safe, so you can run it through a sound-suppressed .500 S&W Magnum revolver without issues.

Can I reload these cases?

Yes. These rounds come in reloadable boxer-primed nickel-plated brass cases, so reloaders can fire-form and reload them to handload specifications.

What is the sectional density of the 700-grain bullet, and why does it matter?

The sectional density is 0.4. Sectional density measures how well a bullet's mass is distributed relative to its cross-sectional area—a factor that influences penetration and energy transfer on target. Higher SD values generally support deeper, more consistent penetration in game.

Is this ammunition corrosive?

No. This is non-corrosive ammunition with non-corrosive primers, so cleanup and storage are straightforward.
