HORNADY 50100 XTP MAG 50 CAL .500 350 GRAIN XTP MAG 50 CNT

Hornady XTP Mag component bullets in 50 caliber .500 diameter at 350 grains (50100) are a heavy-duty handgun projectile engineered specifically for reloaders running ultra-powerful magnum revolvers who demand deeper penetration and controlled expansion at the extreme velocities generated by cartridges like the .500 S&W Magnum. These 50 cal magnum hunting and defense reloading bullets come 50 per box and are built to withstand impact forces that would compromise a standard XTP bullet.

Key Features

• Manufacturer part number: 50100
• Caliber: 50 cal, .500 diameter
• Bullet weight: 350 grains
• Bullet type: XTP Mag jacketed hollow point with cannelure
• G1 ballistic coefficient: 0.145
• Sectional density: 0.192
• Jacket material: Drawn gilding metal
• Core material: Cold-swaged lead
• Count per box: 50
• Application: Personal defense, medium to large game hunting

Special Features

• The XTP Mag is engineered beyond standard XTP specifications with a reinforced jacket and core construction designed to withstand the higher velocities and harder impacts of ultra-powerful magnum handguns without fragmenting.
• Precise serrations divide the jacket into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening it to initiate controlled expansion even at low velocities while holding the bullet together at the extreme upper end of magnum velocity ranges.
• Jacket thickness varies down the length of the bullet, giving the XTP Mag a controlled expansion advantage over plated bullets that carry uniform jacket thickness throughout.
• The cold-swaged lead core produces total density uniformity, ensuring balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability shot to shot.
• The cannelure is applied before final bullet forming, allowing accurate and consistent crimp engagement without distorting the finished bullet profile.

Practical Benefits

• These bullets are compatible with .500 S&W Magnum and .50 AE brass, giving you a proven component that works across the largest-bore magnum revolvers and semi-automatic pistols chambered in .50 caliber.
• The 350-grain weight delivers exceptional sectional density and momentum, producing the deep straight-line penetration through tough hide and bone that hunters require on large and dangerous game.
• The broad expansion performance window gives you flexibility to build a moderate defensive load or a full-power hunting charge with the same component and expect consistent, reliable terminal results.
• If you reload for a .500 S&W Magnum or .50 AE platform and need a component that holds together under extreme magnum pressure, the Hornady XTP Mag (50100) gives your hunting and defensive handloads the terminal integrity your big-bore platform demands.

The Hornady XTP Mag 50 Cal .500 350 Grain (50100) is a capable tool and confident choice for the serious big-bore reloader seeking a proven platform for large game hunting and personal defense applications.
