The Magtech 500L delivers reliable performance for .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum training and range sessions. This 325-grain semi-jacketed soft point flat ammunition provides consistent ballistics at a value price point for high-volume shooting.
What Makes This Different
Magtech's 500L training load uses a lighter powder charge than full-power hunting rounds, reducing felt recoil while maintaining reliable cycling. The semi-jacketed soft point flat design offers controlled expansion characteristics for training scenarios. This configuration allows shooters to practice with their .500 S&W revolvers without the punishing recoil of maximum-power loads.
Key Features
- 325-grain semi-jacketed soft point flat bullet for controlled expansion
- Reduced recoil training load maintains reliable function
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading
- Non-corrosive powder and primers ensure clean burning
- Quality control tested for consistent velocities

Range performance focuses on consistency and affordability for extended practice sessions. The lighter training load generates approximately 1,200 fps muzzle velocity compared to 1,600+ fps hunting loads. Shooters report manageable recoil characteristics that allow for longer training sessions without fatigue. The flat-point bullet design provides clean paper punching for target work while maintaining adequate terminal performance for training scenarios.
