Federal Barnes Expander 500 S&W Magnum 275gr SCHP P500XB1 Overview

Federal Barnes Expander 500 S&W Magnum 275 grain solid copper hollow point P500XB1 ammo combines a relatively light-for-caliber 275-grain monolithic projectile with the large 500 S&W Magnum cartridge. The bullet's hollow nose makes it an expanding hunting design, not a solid hard-cast penetrator.

A copper Barnes Expander does not rely on a lead core for its mass or a separate jacket for containment. Federal lists 1,660 fps for the ammunition, making the weight-and-speed combination particularly distinct from much heavier 500 S&W hunting bullets. Neither the caliber's size nor the published velocity alone can establish terminal performance in the field.

The relatively light 275-grain construction is a defining characteristic here; it should not be confused with a generic 500 S&W hard-cast load. Owners should establish point of impact and practical control with the selected revolver, especially if their usual ammo carries a heavier projectile. The 20-round nickel-case box contains this specific Barnes configuration for big-game use.
