Winchester WSC500SWU Unprimed Cases deliver the foundation for precision handloading in the powerful 500 S&W Magnum cartridge. These factory-fresh brass cases provide reloaders with consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy for developing custom loads that maximize the potential of this magnum revolver round.
What Makes This Different
Winchester brass cases undergo multi-stage quality control processes that ensure uniform case capacity and concentricity within 0.002 inches. The brass alloy composition maintains optimal hardness for repeated reloading cycles while preventing case head separation under the extreme pressures generated by 500 S&W Magnum loads. Each case features consistent flash hole diameter and primer pocket depth that standard range brass often lacks.
Key Features
- Factory-fresh unprimed brass construction for custom load development
- Consistent wall thickness within 0.001 inches for uniform powder capacity
- Precision-formed case mouth requires minimal preparation before loading
- Annealed case necks prevent cracking during bullet seating
- Uniform primer pocket depth accommodates large rifle primers
- 50 cases per bag provide sufficient quantity for load testing
- Compatible with all 500 S&W Magnum chamber specifications
These cases handle the substantial pressures generated by full-power 500 S&W loads, from 300-grain hunting bullets to 700-grain dangerous game projectiles. The brass composition maintains structural integrity through multiple reloading cycles, making them suitable for both precision target work and hunting applications where consistent performance matters. Case life typically extends 8-12 reloads when properly sized and maintained.
