Practical Benefits

The 500 S&W Magnum is the heaviest production revolver cartridge on the market, built for handgun hunting of elk, bear, and large dangerous game, and the Hornady 8790 brass is constructed to handle those extreme pressures reliably

Reloaders building hunting loads in the 325 to 500-grain bullet range will benefit from the consistent case capacity that keeps velocity spreads tight when every shot counts

Starting from new unprimed brass eliminates variables from once-fired cases of unknown history and reduces initial case prep time

A 50-count box is a practical working batch for load development or maintaining a steady supply for hunting season

The Hornady 500 S&W Magnum Unprimed Handgun Brass Cases (8790) are a proven platform for big-bore revolver hunters and serious reloaders who want a quality-controlled foundation for hard-hitting 500 S&W Magnum handloads.
