This load is designed to penetrate deeply enough for animals weighing up to around 1,400 lbs.
This load again features a Berry’s bullet, but this bullet was designed to be tough enough to withstand 500 S&W velocities of around 2,000 fps, so you know this bullet will hold together at the relatively slow velocities of the much smaller 50AE cartridge.
In my two test guns, this load generates the following velocities:
- 1,345 fps — 6-inch Desert Eagle
- 1,500 fps — 10-inch Desert Eagle
