Barnes Buster Hunting Bullets for Handguns & Lever Rifles .500 S&W .500" 400 gr FNFB 50/ct

Barnes Buster Hunting Bullets for .500 S&W Magnum deliver deep penetration and maximum weight retention for large dangerous game. These 400-grain Flat Nose Flat Base (FNFB) projectiles feature a thick copper jacket bonded to a heavy lead core, engineered for bone-crushing terminal performance on elk, moose, bear, bison, and buffalo at handgun and lever-rifle velocities.

The 400-grain weight in the .500-inch diameter offers optimal sectional density for the .500 Smith & Wesson platform, delivering the penetration necessary to reach vital organs through heavy muscle and bone structure. The FNFB design produces a controlled expansion profile, maintaining 95+ percent weight retention through intermediate barriers. This ammunition is fully hand-cast and ready to load, compatible with both handgun and lever-action rifle applications, making it versatile for hunters who run multiple platforms in the same caliber.

The 50-round quantity per box supports serious handloaders and hunters who practice extensively before season. Barnes Buster bullets appeal to users of the .500 S&W Magnum revolver and custom lever rifles seeking premium, hard-hitting ammunition for backcountry hunts where shot placement and terminal ballistics determine success. The thick jacket construction resists deformation in demanding field conditions, while the flat-nose profile delivers consistent ballistics across handgun and rifle velocity ranges.

For handloaders selecting components, these Barnes projectiles represent professional-grade terminal performance backed by decades of controlled expansion research. The 400-grain .500" bullet is among the heaviest offerings for the .500 S&W, maximizing downrange energy and penetration on North American heavy game.
