50 AE is too expensive to shoot - anywhere from about $1.20 - $2.00/round. 44 magnum is bad enough, but doable.

I realize this isn't true of everybody that shoots the big Magnums (although I can't imagine it...) but I don't consider "the cost of factory ammo" since I quite literally never, ever shoot any of it. Why would I? I would have never mastered a .357 Magnum and then moved on to the bigger ones all those decades ago if I could only shoot one box of factory ammo on odd occasions.
So I realize that jacketed .50 AE slugs are going to cost more than .429" ones for .44 Magnum, but I don't think the difference will be THAT substantial.
**** I was curious so I went to look. Graf's lists .500" jacketed slugs for between $24 and $32 per 50. Not like buying surplus .224" bullets but I could afford to shoot off a couple magazines on occasion. Starline brass is $34 a hundred.
