Description
This 12.7x42mm load features the proven 500gr Hornady FP-XTP—a jacketed flat point designed to expand reliably and penetrate deeply, even at moderate rifle velocities. Tailored for the big bore AR platform, this round offers a powerful balance of expansion and energy transfer, making it a formidable choice for hunting medium to large game within the cartridge’s effective range.
This exposed lead XTP (Xtreme Terminal Performance) bullet is known for its controlled expansion and when launched from a 12.7x42mm upper, it delivers devastating wound channels with exceptional terminal ballistics. Whether you’re harvesting hogs, whitetail, or testing performance on ballistic media, this load offers consistent accuracy and confidence-inspiring power.
Loaded with premium components and tuned for reliability in semi-auto rifles, Steinel’s 12.7x42mm 500gr FP-XTP is built for hunters and shooters who demand more from their big bore ammunition.
Expansion is excellent due to the jacket geometry and the exposed, soft lead nose.
This uses the same projectile found in our 500 S&W Magnum ammo.
