Magnum Research - Jacketed Hollow Point - 300 Grain 50 Action Express Ammo - 20 Rounds

One of the more popular ways to interpret the development of the .50 Action Express cartridge is to assume it was done just to prove that it COULD be done. Introduced in 1988, it almost immediately fell afoul of US regulations as a “destructive device” and therefor prohibited for general use. A quick resizing of the bullet from .510” to .500” kept it off the restricted use. The rebated rim of the case is the same as the .44 Remington Magnum allowing some firearms to fire both with just a barrel change. It is one of the most powerful handgun cartridges in the world meant for taking on dangerous game either as a primary or back up weapon. It is also popular for competitive shooting and …well, simply showing off. The 300 grain jacketed hollow point bullet by Magnum Research has a muzzle velocity of 1270 feet per second with 1253 foot pounds of energy. It is designed with both hunting and personal defense applications in mind.

Magnum Research is the company that builds the Desert Eagle Pistol, one of the few weapons in the world chambered in .50 AE. It is both an importer of Israeli designed and manufactured weapons as well as domestic maker of both Israeli and US designed guns. Their ammunition line is meant to expand their commercial presence and support their products, as such it is designed to support and promote their commitment to quality and dependability. Brass cases are boxer primed and reloadable, an important consideration when employing this caliber.
