Barnes Banded Solid Bullets .500 cal .510" 535 gr BND SLD RN 20/ct

Barnes Banded Solid Bullets in .500 caliber, .510-inch diameter, 535 grain are precision-engineered projectiles designed for hunters and shooters who demand terminal performance and deep penetration on large game and dangerous game applications. These solid copper construction rounds are built specifically to function reliably in lever-action rifles and single-shot platforms chambered in .500 S&W Magnum and similar large-bore cartridges.

The banded solid design eliminates the need for hollow-point expansion, relying instead on controlled deformation and superior sectional density to maintain velocity and penetration through heavy bone and dense muscle tissue. The 535-grain bullet weight is optimized for .500-caliber magnum velocities, delivering kinetic energy transfer while maintaining trajectory stability. Barnes Banded Solid bullets feature a solid copper construction, resulting in consistent ballistic coefficient and minimal barrel fouling compared to traditional lead-core ammunition.

Handloaders and dangerous game hunters working with .500 S&W Magnum, .500 Linebaugh, and similar cartridges will find these bullets ideal for their needs. The round nose profile enhances feeding reliability in magazine-fed and lever-action systems, while the banding ensures the jacket remains bonded under extreme pressure—critical when launching half-inch diameter projectiles at magnum velocities toward thick hide and bone.
