50 AE – 300 Gr Fusion SP – Federal (F50AEFS1) – 200 Rounds

The 50 Action Express is one of the most powerful semi-automatic handgun cartridges made, and Federal Fusion gives it a bonded hunting bullet built for big game. This listing is Federal Fusion 50 AE 300 grain soft point ammo, MPN F50AEFS1, sold as 200 rounds.

Federal rates this load at 1,550 fps with 1,600 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Fusion bullets are made by electrochemically applying the copper jacket to the lead core, which bonds the two so the bullet holds together and retains weight on impact, while a skived nose promotes expansion. That construction is why Federal markets Fusion for deer and other big game. In a 50 AE handgun, this load is a serious option for handgun hunters pursuing deer and hogs at moderate distances. Expect strong recoil and substantial muzzle blast.

This ammunition fits handguns chambered in 50 Action Express, including the Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark XIX in 50 AE and Magnum Research BFR revolvers chambered for 50 AE. A common question is whether a Desert Eagle needs specific ammunition. Gas-operated Desert Eagles run best with full-power jacketed loads like this one, and Magnum Research recommends avoiding lead bullets. Another common question is whether 50 AE is related to 50 BMG. It is not. 50 AE is a handgun cartridge, while 50 BMG is a much larger rifle cartridge. Always check your state regulations on handgun calibers for big game before hunting.

Federal F50AEFS1 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive, and 50 AE brass is valued by handloaders. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 50 AE 300 grain Fusion from one production lot. A 200 round supply covers sighting in, practice with your actual hunting load, and several seasons in the field.
