I have had my 50 AE Desert Eagle for a few years now and have finally started looking for suitable loads for it. I have some plated 325 gr bullets and have tried 23 gr of #9 which provided good accuracy but fails to lock back the slide on an empty mag, maybe I'll go up a bit to see if I can get it to lock back with safe pressure indications.
28 gr of 2400 worked the slide great but had a fairly decent fireball and pressure wave.
30 gr of IMR 4227 was very dirty and was inconsistent with ejection. It's all Starline brass but I can't find that particular sheet that has all the info about what primers used as these are a 50 round container of primed brass I primed last year but I think they may be Small Rifle primers and not the magnum variety..
Anyone have a favorite load they would like to share?
