I have had similar frustrating experiences loading 44 mag for the Desert Eagle. General cycling problems, failure-to-extract, failure to go into battery, etc. .

I have loaded it for 50ae and haven't had these problems, so I've always suspected that my middle-of-the-range 44 mag loads aren't giving it enough power to properly move that gigantic slide and springs.
