This is a high-quality, high-performance load for big game. Because it expands to about an inch on the bullet's nose, it has only enough penetration for animals weighing no more than about 400 lbs.
Of course, penetration depth will always vary based on some unknowns, such as which bones are hit from what angles, etc.
With bullet expansion around .100 caliber (an inch), this is the deer/black bear/hog load from hell.
In my two test guns, Item # 50AE 325 JHP generated the following velocities:
- 1,374 fps — 6-inch Desert Eagle
- 1,574 fps — 10-inch Desert Eagle
