Loading for the big-bore Desert Eagle means you want a projectile that behaves the same way shot after shot, and the Speer 4490 is built to do exactly that. This is a 300 grain Total Metal Jacket bullet in a true .500 diameter, sized right for the .50 Action Express and ready to drop into your reloading workflow.
What sets the TMJ apart from a standard full metal jacket is Speer's Uni-Cor process. Instead of seating a jacket over the core and leaving lead exposed at the base, the lead is completely encased in a seamless copper jacket. That matters more than it sounds. Exposed bases can deform under pressure and throw off consistency, while the fully wrapped TMJ keeps its shape and cuts down on airborne lead at the bench. It also won't foul ported compensators the way open-base bullets tend to.
Each bullet is swaged twice, which gives you consistent diameters and a uniform heel from one projectile to the next. For a cartridge as stout as the .50 AE, that uniformity translates to tighter groups and loads you can trust to behave predictably. The flat nose profile feeds well and makes these a solid pick for target work and high-volume practice.
These come in at 300 grains with a .500 diameter and a 0.630 inch overall length. The ballistic coefficient runs .157 with a sectional density of .171, and there's no cannelure, so you'll be setting your crimp based on your own load workup. Jacket is copper over a lead core, and the box holds 50 bullets ready to prep.
If you shoot a Desert Eagle, a Magnum Research BFR, or another .50 AE platform and you've grown tired of paying full freight for factory loads, rolling your own with these TMJs is a dependable way to keep the big gun fed. Speer has been doing this a long time, and the TMJ line earns its reputation at the loading bench and on the target.
A standard FMJ typically leaves lead exposed at the base, which can deform under pressure and hurt consistency. The TMJ uses Speer's Uni-Cor process to fully encase the lead core in a seamless jacket. That gives you cleaner shooting, less airborne lead, and better shot-to-shot uniformity.
These are .500 diameter, 300 grain bullets intended for the .50 Action Express cartridge. That makes them a natural fit for the Desert Eagle, Magnum Research BFR, and other .50 AE platforms. You'll be loading them into your own cases with your preferred powder and primer.
No, these bullets do not have a cannelure. You'll want to work up your seating depth and crimp based on your load data and brass. A good taper or roll crimp applied to your workup will keep things consistent.
These are component bullets only, not loaded cartridges. They're meant for handloaders who assemble their own .50 AE ammunition. You'll need brass, primers, and powder to complete the load.
