Hornady 50 Cal 300gr XTP Mag (Bulk / OEM)

Hornady 50 Cal 300gr XTP Mag – 50AE

The Hornady 50 Cal 300gr XTP Mag – 50AE bullet is engineered for shooters who demand uncompromising performance from their magnum handguns. Designed for both self-defense and medium-game hunting, this heavy-duty projectile takes Hornady’s trusted XTP^® technology and enhances it to handle the extreme pressures and velocities of powerful cartridges like the .50 AE. The result is deeper penetration, exceptional weight retention, and terminal performance that stands up to the toughest shooting conditions.

This bullet features a drawn gilding metal jacket that is carefully tapered in thickness along the length of the projectile. Unlike plated bullets with uniform thickness, the XTP Mag™ offers controlled expansion by varying its jacket wall, giving it a superior ability to perform across a range of velocities. The symmetrical notches around the jacket’s nose create precise expansion channels that deliver reliable and controlled mushrooming on impact—even at lower speeds often associated with longer-range or subsonic applications.

The swaged lead core provides uniform density, enhancing both accuracy and terminal balance. Its cannelure allows for consistent crimping, improving retention in heavy-recoil firearms and ensuring dependable cycling in revolvers and semi-automatics alike. In addition, the gilding metal jacket completely encases the tip, preventing lead exposure and supporting proper feeding in magazine-fed platforms.

Whether you’re reloading for personal defense, hunting, or range use, the Hornady 50 Cal 300gr XTP Mag delivers the power and performance that reloaders expect. Available in bulk bullets for high-volume reloading or precision builds, this .50 Cal option is a top-tier choice for those who demand reliable expansion, penetration, and retention from their big-bore handgun loads.

CONTROLLED EXPANSION

Precise serrations divide the XTP^® Mag™ into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket and initiating controlled expansion even at low velocities.

NO EXPOSED LEAD

The gilding metal jacket protects the nose of the bullet, so the hollow cavity functions properly on impact and ensures proper feeding in semi-automatics.

SWAGED CORE

Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion as well as in-flight stability.

DRAWN GILDING METAL JACKET

Expansion is controlled by varying jacket thickness down the length of the XTP^® Mag™, providing a definite advantage over plated bullets which have a uniform jacket thickness over the entire bullet.

CANNELURE

On revolver bullets, the cannelure helps achieve accurate, consistent crimping. All cannelures are applied before the final forming process to eliminate any distortion to the finished bullet.
