Polycase Ammunition .50 Beowulf ARX, 200 Grains, ARX, Per 20 Md: 0050BWIARX200-001B00020P
At PolyCase, the mission is simple: leverage the latest technologies to create the next generation of defense, training and hunting ammunition with tried and true performance. PolyCase has accomplished this mission with the introduction of the Inceptor Preferred Hunting line, featuring the patent-pending PolyCase ARX projectile. This non-expanding projectile is light, fast and has low recoil while retaining a flat trajectory. Its fluted design ensures exceptional reliability and terminal performance while diminishing the possibility of over-penetration.
ARX bullets are engineered for hydraulic displacement and terminal energy transfer to targets..
ARX design pressurizes and ejects fluid target matter. A bullet traveling at 1400 FPS upon terminal impact will cause fluid matter to eject laterally at 1.5 to 2 times the normal speed of the bullet (2100–2800 FPS). This is the result of the well-known Venturi Effect.
The revolutionary 45 Colt UM1TM ARX Lever not only brings ARX hunting to the Lever Action community, but also highlights the unmatched design and manufacturing capabilities of PolyCase through the introduction of three unique patent-pending primer spacers on the ogive of the projectile. These primer spacers prevent ignition of the ammunition in tubular magazines while preserving the fluid disruption and non-expanding performance characteristics unique to the ARX bullet.
Features :
- Revolutionary Hunting Technology: From the research and development laboratory of PolyCase Ammunition, the Inceptor ARX is the next-generation of hunting ammunition. Through advanced design and materials science the ARX uses fluid dynamics and non-expanding surface area instead of expansion to achieve terminal performance.
- Engineered Fluid Dynamics: By design, the enhanced surface area and design of the ARX exploit the bullet’s forward energy and redirect that energy in the form of hydraulic displacement (hydrostatic shock). This hydraulic displacement creates a wound cavity that rivals that created by expanding bullets.
- Lateral Force: The ARX bullet’s hydraulic displacement effect is achieved by the ARX technology. The ARX flutes – grooves on the nose of the bullet – have wide mouths and narrow exit points. When combined with the bullet’s forward velocity into soft tissue, the design of the ARX flutes causes an increase in pressure of the fluid. As a result, the fluid is laterally ejected from the flutes at a higher velocity than the actual speed of the bullet itself, creating the massive cavitation and wound channels seen in the ARX gelatin tests.
- Specially Engineered Profile: Because it has no hollow-point or sharp edges on the nose of the bullet, the ARX feeds like a round nose, yet retains stopping power and terminal performance that rivals expanding bullets
- Precise: Injection molded ARX projectiles deliver exceptional acc

50 Beowulf is a proprietary cartridge of Alexander Arms, introduced in 2001 to bring big-bore performance to the AR platform. The 1.65-inch case is similar to the 500 S&W, except the rim is sharply rebated to the same diameter as the 7.62X39mm cartridge. Bullet diameter is .500-inch, same as the 50 AE. Bullet weights range from 300 to 400 grains; a 400-grain bullet at 1800 fps yields over 2800 ft-lbs of energy, a very powerful cartridge in an AR15 frame. The 50 Beowulf offers a sound option for hunting larger game with an AR, and at moderate ranges is extremely effective on moose and bears.
