Description
Refined Power. Unmistakable Authority.
The .500 S&W Magnum was never intended to be subtle. This 440gr WFNGC load embraces that purpose — delivering commanding energy and substantial recoil with the disciplined precision serious big-bore shooters expect.
Built around a heavy 440-grain Wide Flat Nose Gas Check projectile, this cartridge offers a broad frontal profile and authority upon impact. The recoil is very firm and unapologetic — the kind that seasoned X-Frame owners respect and seek out.
Each lot is carefully assembled for consistent velocities and repeatable performance, maintaining the standards Steinel has become known for in specialty and heavy-for-caliber offerings.
This load performs with equal confidence in:
- Smith & Wesson X-Frame revolvers
- Encore single shots
- Big Horn Armory Model 89 lever guns
In each platform, it delivers the same refined brutality — substantial recoil, commanding energy, and performance that feels intentional rather than excessive.
For those who choose the 500 S&W Magnum not for novelty, but for its unrivaled presence, this 440gr WFNGC represents big-bore performance executed with precision.
Power, controlled.
Authority, refined.
As with all of our 500 S&W Magnum loads: not for the novice shooter– recoil is punishing. Its higher velocity generates recoil that is frequently reported as sharper and more forceful than our 700gr .500 S&W load.
