I love the 50AE, I have an AR15 upper built in it as well as an Encore barrel. For hogs I run the Speer 300gr deep curl bullets @ 1900fps and hogs don't run off after being shot if I do my part. Kinda takes the fun out of hog hunting.... Not really....

As a follow up on my FA555 post, I was able to get to the range today and chrono the Samson factory ammo that came with my 555. The 300gr. SP was fairly consistent for the five rounds, 1521, 1530, 1544, 1534, and 1526fps, my thoughts were that was impressive considering how recoil felt much more like a 44 mag with a 300gr. bullet at 1300fps.

It surprised me, I was expecting 1400-1450fps. I think it’ll do a mule deer or pronghorn just fine.

One of us is backwards! I had FA fit a .500WE cylinder to my 7-1/2" .50 AE. Me too, John. You may recall that you and I got some of the first couple WE retro-fits. Me three but mine isn't that old so he's certainly got it backwards |

I was able to chrono some 275gr. XPB’s from my 50ae,....load data claimed close to 1700fps, I was able to get almost 1600fps, still quite effective and accurate.
