Some days you eat the bear. Other days, the bear eats you. HSM loads this ferociously powerful .500 S&W Magnum ammunition so you can avoid the “other days.”
HSM bills this round’s muzzle energy as just a click shy of 2,200 ft lbs. That’s around 700 ft lbs less than a .30-06, which is, needless to say, amazing for a handgun cartridge.
The bullet doesn’t utilize raw force alone to kill the bear. As a hard cast, it is made of an alloy which is much harder than conventional lead. It forgoes expansion (and barely even deforms at all) as it digs through dense flesh, which enables it to penetrate extra, *extra* deeply.
The bullet also features a wide flat nose profile, which enables it to stamp a harmful wound channel through the target and keep its nose pointed forward (which in turn promotes deeper penetration). The bullet is able to penetrate *even deeper* thanks to its gas check – a gasket of sorts, which forces more propellant gasses to transfer their energy to the base of the bullet.
These premium bear defense loads hail from bear country: Montana, where it was assembled and closely inspected by HSM’s best.
