Projectile Overview
Bertram’s .510-inch 535-grain round nose soft point is a traditional heavy large-bore projectile. The 535-grain weight is closely associated with classic .500 Jeffery ammunition, while the .510-inch diameter is also used in other large-bore sporting cartridges. Always select components by exact cartridge and rifle requirements rather than caliber name alone.
