Alexander Arms 50 Beowulf 400gr FP Hunting Ammo - 20 Rounds per Box

The Alexander Arms 50 Beowulf 400gr FP hunting ammo is purpose-built for shooters running one of the most distinctive big-game cartridges in modern rifle hunting. If you own a 50 Beowulf upper or dedicated rifle and need proven field ammunition, this flat-point load delivers the power and penetration that made the cartridge famous. Loaded to 1820 feet per second with a 400-grain flat-point bullet, each box contains 20 rounds ready to pack into your magazine or reload bag.

The 50 Beowulf was developed to deliver deep, reliable terminal performance on large game at practical hunting distances. This flat-point offering is engineered specifically for that mission—the blunt nose geometry favors straight-line penetration and energy transfer rather than expansion, making it a workhorse load for hunters who understand the cartridge's strengths. At 1820 FPS, the ballistics coefficient of 0.202 tells you this round will drop and drift more than high-velocity magnum cartridges, but that's the trade-off for the 50 Beowulf's short-range authority and capacity for deep, destructive wound channels on game.

Whether you're hunting from a 16-inch AR-15 upper or a bolt rifle, this ammunition is loaded by Alexander Arms—the original design house behind the Beowulf platform—so you're getting factory ammunition built with the cartridge's actual performance envelope in mind, not a generic load forced into a non-standard case. These 20-round boxes are convenient for practice, load testing, or a hunting trip where shot count stays low.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles and uppers does this ammo work in?

Alexander Arms 50 Beowulf ammunition is chambered for .50 Beowulf rifles and AR-15 upper receivers. Always verify your firearm's chamber and consult your weapon's manual before loading any ammunition.

Is this ammo suitable for hunting?

Yes. The 50 Beowulf was designed as a hunting cartridge, and Alexander Arms loads this flat-point ammunition specifically for big-game hunting applications. The 400-grain flat-point bullet is engineered for deep penetration and reliable terminal performance at hunting ranges typical for the cartridge.

How does this ammo compare to other .50 Beowulf loads?

The 50 Beowulf cartridge itself is limited in factory ammunition options, and this 400-grain flat-point is the standard load configuration. The 1820 FPS velocity and ballistics coefficient of 0.202 reflect the design parameters of the cartridge as originally developed.

How much does ballistic drop I should expect?

The .50 Beowulf is a medium-range hunting cartridge and will experience significant bullet drop beyond 200 yards, especially in wind. Ballistic trajectory depends on your zero distance, barrel length, and sight setup. We recommend shooting your specific load through your rifle to establish your hold points before hunting.
