It uses a true .500 caliber bullet, loaded ammunition can be had from the factory in either a 400-grain soft point or a 325-grain hollow point.
Velocities run around 1800 and 1950 feet-per-second.

.223 on steroids? Why do you say that? I was under the impression that the 6.5 Grendel was the .223 replacement from Alexander Arms and the .50 Beowulf was done as an intellectual exercise to push the limits of the ar-16/15 platform.

Jeez, anytime any idiot in the LSM sees .50 caliber, they think it means a .50 BMG. A .50 BMG would have a hell of a recoil in a 30” long rifle that weighs 6 lbs.
But that 50 Beowulf would kick butt against large game.
