A: No sir. The 50 Browning Machine Gun (BMG) is a very powerful 5.45" long rifle cartridge that was developed to shoot down airplanes. Even if it theoretically could chamber in your Desert Eagle (which it can't), the recoil would break your wrist and the pistol would explode, quite possibly killing you. Not advisable! Please make sure only to buy 50 Action Express (AE) ammo for your Desert Eagle: https://www.luckygunner.com/handgun/50-action-express-ammo

A: Thanks for reaching out Dan! The 50 BMG is not normally considered a hunting cartridge. This round's A-MAX bullet is also designed for long-rage target shooting, not hunting. That said, I have zero reason to doubt that you could use this ammo to take any of Africa's Big Five. You'd just have to do it with a really heavy rifle.

A: Hi Jayy. Thanks for reaching out. The Hornady A Max is a non-magnetic round. The core is lead and the jacketing is copper. Give me a shout if I can assist further my friend.--Ross
