Hornady XTP Mag (50101) component bullets give reloaders a heavy-jacket, magnum-rated 50 caliber hollow point purpose-built for handloading 50 Action Express cartridges where standard hollow points cannot withstand the extreme pressures and velocities that cartridge generates. These 50 caliber .500 diameter 300 grain XTP Mag bullets pack 50 per box and are the go-to reloading component for semi-automatic pistol shooters, handgun hunters, and self-defense handloaders running 50 AE platforms who need a structurally tough bullet that expands reliably and holds together under the highest handgun pressures produced.

Special Features
- Heavier jacket construction is the defining difference between the XTP Mag and the standard XTP, engineered specifically to withstand the extreme pressures and velocities of 50 AE without premature expansion or jacket failure at the muzzle.
- Precise serrations divide the XTP Mag into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate controlled expansion across a wide velocity range while resisting fragmentation for deep, consistent penetration.
- Drawn gilding metal jacket varies in wall thickness down the length of the bullet, controlling expansion and delivering deeper penetration compared to plated bullets that carry uniform jacket thickness throughout.
- Swaged lead core delivers total uniformity in density, supporting balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability shot to shot through semi-automatic 50 AE pistols.
- Enclosed nose design keeps the hollow cavity fully protected so it functions correctly on impact and feeds reliably through the feeding system of large-frame semi-automatic pistols chambered in 50 AE.
- Engineered to expand to up to 1.5 times the original bullet diameter on impact while maintaining structural integrity and high weight retention through the target.
Practical Benefits
- Semi-automatic pistol shooters running 50 AE platforms get a bullet specifically built for the extreme pressure that cartridge generates, eliminating the jacket failure risk that standard hollow points face at those velocities.
- Handgun hunters pursuing large and heavy-bodied game with 50 AE semi-automatics get the penetration depth that only a magnum-rated 300 grain hollow point with a heavier drawn jacket can deliver through bone and dense muscle.
- Reloaders can fine-tune powder charges and seating depth to optimize velocity and accuracy for their specific 50 AE firearm without sacrificing the controlled expansion the XTP Mag platform is built around.
- Your handloads built on the Hornady XTP Mag (50101) give you a magnum-rated, semi-automatic-ready 50 caliber component that matches the power level of the 50 AE cartridge with the terminal consistency serious handgun hunters and self-defense shooters demand.
The Hornady XTP Mag (50101), a 50 caliber .500 diameter 300 grain jacketed hollow point, is a proven platform and reliable pick for reloaders who demand a structurally tough, deeply penetrating, and consistently expanding bullet for 50 Action Express hunting and self-defense applications.
