Sierra 50 Cal 350gr JHP

The Sierra 50 Cal 350gr JHP is a heavy, large-caliber component bullet designed for hunters and handloaders who demand massive energy transfer, controlled expansion, and deep penetration in .50-caliber revolvers and rifles. With a .500-inch diameter and a 350-grain jacketed hollow-point construction, this bullet is optimized for big-game hunting and field applications requiring substantial terminal performance.

Engineered with a thick copper-alloy jacket and a precisely formed hollow-point cavity, the 350gr JHP provides rapid expansion and wide wound channels while retaining structural integrity upon impact. The bullet’s weight and momentum make it highly effective for use on large and dangerous game where reliable penetration and maximum energy delivery are critical.

Manufactured to Sierra’s stringent component specifications—350.0 grains weight, 0.500″ diameter, and a sectional density near 0.200—the bullet features uniform jacket concentricity and consistent meplat geometry. These attributes ensure dependable chamber pressures, tight seating tolerances, and repeatable performance in tuned handloads for powerful handgun and rifle platforms.

Optimized for high-pressure revolvers and single-shot rifles chambered in .500 S&W Magnum and similar cartridges, the 350gr JHP performs well at muzzle velocities ranging from 1,300 to 1,800 fps. It delivers clean expansion and significant stopping power on thick-skinned game such as hogs, elk, or black bear in short- to mid-range engagements.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 50 Cal 350gr JHP gives reloaders full control over powder selection, primer configuration, and seating depth—enabling custom load development focused on balance, trajectory, and terminal effect. It is not factory-loaded ammunition, but a premium hollow-point component designed for serious big-game .50-caliber performance.
