200rds – 50 AE Underwood 300gr. FMJ Ammo

Underwood Ammo 300 Grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Ammo Details

This is top-of-the line 50 Action Express target ammunition by Underwood of Sparta, IL – just what the doctor ordered for any Desert Eagle. But if you happen to get accosted an aggressive animal while you’re armed with this ammo, then the animal is certain to sorely regret its decision.

This round’s full metal jacket flat nose bullet weighs 300 grains and achieves 1,580 fps muzzle velocity. Its close range striking energy is over 1,500 ft lbs, which is unequivocally colossal. The FMJ will not initiate terminal expansion, which alongside its blunt, circular meplat enables it to plow a deep, straight and extremely injurious hole through whichever beast was unfortunate enough to get struck by it. Guaranteed over-penetration on human-sized threats; not recommended for defense against threats that aren’t critters.

Underwood’s nickel-plated brass cases look nice, but that’s not their function. Nickel prevents tarnishing and corrosion that could damage ammo in storage, and also reduces friction that could have complicated cycling in a mag-fed firearm. Each case harbors a charge of clean-burning powder, which is formulated to conserve the shooter’s night vision by minimizing muzzle flash.
