CORBON began as a custom bullet-making company; we made bullets for hunters going to Africa to hunt the Big 5 with a handgun. CORBON's Bonded Core Soft Points are designed to retain their weight and stay together while crushing through heavy bone and tissue in large game. CORBON's Penetrator and Hard Cast loads are designed for very large, tough-skinned and heavy-boned animals. The Penetrator loads use a heavy, full jacket with a hard linotype core. The Hard Cast load is made from a hard linotype lead with a proven LBT nose design. These two loads cause a through-and-through hole, breaking even the heaviest bones. Our customers have taken large game such as Moose, Brown Bear and Cape Buffalo with our Hard Cast and Penetrator loads.

Introduced in 2003 in S&W's big "X-Frame" revolver, the 500 S&W restored Smith & Wesson's title as producer of the world's most powerful handgun. Using a .500-inch bullet from a 1.6252-inch case, the 500 S&W propels a 300-grain bullet at over 2000 fps…and a 500-grain bullet at more than 1400 fps. These are astonishing handgun velocities; with suitable bullets the 500 S&W has been proven adequate for the largest game on Earth. The revolvers that handle this cartridge are large and heavy, and even then recoil is severe (if not ferocious), but with proper handling the 500 S&W is accurate as well as powerful. It is the ultimate choice for the handgun hunter in pursuit of large game...but is not everyone's cup of tea! — Craig Boddington
