These Speer DeepCurl bullets are built for .500 S&W Magnum handgun hunters who want a bonded soft point that holds together on heavy-bodied game. Each component bullet measures .500 inch in diameter, weighs 350 grains, and ships 50 per box under part number 4491. The soft point profile and pre-formed jacket are designed to expand at the velocities a .500 Magnum revolver produces, then drive deep through bone and muscle. If you load your own big-bore revolver ammunition for hogs, bear, or large deer, this is a component worth a close look. Browse our full range of handgun bullets for more options.
Speer electrochemically bonds the DeepCurl jacket to the lead core, which keeps the jacket and core married together through the impact and on into the animal. That bonding is what separates the DeepCurl line from conventional cup-and-core soft points that can shed their jackets on heavy bone. The pre-formed nose petals open in a controlled, repeatable pattern, and high weight retention translates to the deep penetration big game demands. The .500 inch diameter and 350 grain weight suit a wide load window for the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge, giving handloaders room to tune charge and velocity. Hunters who run a .50-caliber sidearm will also find Speer's bonded soft point offered for the .50 Action Express.
Reach for these when you're working up a hunting load for a .500 S&W revolver and want a bullet that stays intact on shoulder bone and reaches the vitals. The 350 grain weight is a sensible middle ground for the cartridge, balancing manageable recoil with the penetration needed on larger game. If you're comparing bonded and solid copper designs for the same caliber, look at the Barnes monolithic option in .500. We stock bonded, jacketed, and lead bullets across the popular hunting calibers, so you can match the projectile to your firearm and your quarry.
Speer electrochemically bonds the jacket to the lead core, fusing the two together. This bond prevents jacket-core separation on impact, which produces high weight retention and the deep penetration big game hunting demands. It performs more consistently than conventional cup-and-core soft points when heavy bone is in the path.
These .500 inch, 350 grain bullets are sized for the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge. They are component projectiles for handloaders, not loaded ammunition, so you supply your own cases, powder, and primers and assemble to published .500 S&W Magnum load data.
Each box of part number 4491 contains 50 bullets. They are unloaded component projectiles intended for reloading, not finished cartridges.
Yes. At 350 grains with a bonded soft point construction, this bullet retains weight and penetrates deep, which suits hogs, black bear, and large deer taken with a .500 S&W revolver. It balances recoil against the penetration heavy-bodied game requires.
