Naw. That's a .44 Mag level powder charge with a heavier bullet. If the gun's weight is about like a .44 Mag with similar length barrel (I haven't looked up the .50 DE's weight) it will kick, but it won't be as bad as a .454 Casull.

Source for my data.
I did not bookmark it, but the language will be familiar to you. My source (which I did not set down) starts the discussion like this (you've probably seen it. I can send you my entire transcript if you like):
"Accurate now has reintroduced XMP-5744, a slow burning, bulky powder and is good in magnum pistol loads. Get a copy of their booklet and check this powder out. It may be the best of all.........Unique is about the best all around powder, but if you want a slower burning powder, I suggest 2400. It can also be used effectively in rifle cartridges, like the 30-06, so it's a good one to have for the magnum pistol loads and for rifle. (I extracted the data from an on-line source which said: ".44 Magnum, RE-LOADING DATA, accuracy listed by BARREL LENGTH, and POWDER/BULLET COMBINATION (velocities listed LOWEST to HIGHEST). .44 mag. powder / loads. Note: These are near maximum loads. Use 10% less to start..............Two classic powders for heavy loads are 2400 by Alliant, and 4227 by IMR." end quote. I interpolated this data for the 10" .50AE, loading the 350 grain solid bullet, shooting at about 50~75 yard range, and using H110 slower-burning also due to the barrel length. But the charts I see suggest 2400 powder at 15.9 gr. for the heavy bullet. I'm going to do a LOT of asking before I do any loading. This first question is just a starting point. I'm also collecting data for my 14" .357 Mag., to be used for deer and hog. The basic D.E. frame will be used for all shooting, with various (or none) scopes and dot-aimers.)) I'd appreciate any other D.E. owners who roll their own to chime in with their non-stock bullet data. Thanks |

what manual are you using? lyman 49th edition
my lyman manual lists the 300 grain XTP start load of 29.7-33.0 min to max large pistol magnum primer work up as needed . Use data at your own risk. Last edited by Hydraulicman; July 31, 2009 at 11:22 PM. |
