Good day, scholars and Bubbas! Gotta know if anyone else has tried 500 magnum bullets in 50ae cases for a desert eagle. Got a deal on some factory 2nds, said no cannelure and that the image might not match the actual product. Thought...ya know, ima just give up thinking, it's not working out. Though I've kinda learned my lesson, i still really want this to work. Have any of you tried this?
I used 31gn IMR 4227 on 325 deepcurls, figure if i reduce load by about 1/5th i can get around the reduced case capacity. The charge is not compressed, but another grain and it started to crunch real nasty. This is the last gun i wanna kaboom, so if you know how to make these work lemme know! I'll eventually find my balls and just go for it at which point I'll report my findings for future generations of Midway sale shoppers (if i have fingers left for typing.)
