The .357 Magnum version doesn't have a large selection of factory ammo that cycles well. The big gas gun likes a goodly amount and volume of gas pressure to work the slide. The .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .50 AE versions have a better time of it. .41 Magnum doesn't grow on trees, though, either.
Forgot about this post... Gewehr98, 41 Magnum, my wife got it, and I got all my reloading gear to load for it. Hornady XTP bullets in Remington brass and a few different loadings for AA#9 and Blue Dot to go try out. And I heard the Ranier plated bullets are too soft to use, is that true?
If those Ranier plated bullets are too soft for the Desert Eagle...
It's the first I've heard about it. Especially since I've run about 500 of the darned things through my .357 Desert Eagle with no problems at all, just over 1600fps.

My Mark I .357 started leading up with Rainers after about 20 rounds! Just enough to make it very difficult to cylce the slide by hand. Quit using them. Perhaps they have thickened up the jackets? The ones I shot was about 5 years ago.
I didn't start using them until earlier last year. No leading at all, so maybe their plating is thicker. I do know that Rainier says they now resize the bullets after plating them, maybe that keeps them in better condition with respect to the bore during firing?
