Alexander Arms‘s .50 Beowulf ammunition (brand part no. A-B400FPBOX) loads a 400-grain Hawk flat point bullet for shooters running the AR-pattern rifle that made the Beowulf cartridge possible. Alexander Arms designed .50 Beowulf to deliver big-bore, straight-wall knockdown power out of a standard AR-15 magazine well, and this heavy 400-grain loading is built for exactly the hog and big-game hunting the cartridge was created for. The Hawk bullet’s wide, flat meplat feeds reliably through box magazines while delivering a substantial frontal impact at typical Beowulf ranges. For AR-platform hunters who want serious close-range stopping power, this rifle ammunition is purpose-built for the cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is .50 Beowulf built for? Alexander Arms designed it for hog and big-game hunting and home defense at close-to-moderate range from a standard AR-15-pattern rifle.
Why a flat point bullet in an AR magazine? The flat meplat feeds more reliably through a box magazine than a round-nose bullet would in this straight-wall case.
Does this ammunition need a special upper receiver? Yes, .50 Beowulf requires a rifle or upper specifically chambered for the cartridge; it does not run in standard 5.56 or .223 uppers.
