.50 Action Express load data advice

Nydhog502 · January 14, 2010, 06:46 PM

If anyone here reloads .50AE I'd be curious to see what they use for their loads. I'm going to be using Speer Uni-Cor 325 Grain JHP for my first batch of 100. What are some reliable loads you have seen/used? What powders do you recommend?

I'ved used that slug and accurate #9 powder 22.6g- 23.8 max in both 6 and 10 inch barrels. #9 also works great in 44 mag also in both barrels. real clean burning powder.

I've used both #9 & H110 with that bullet... I also do some reloading with heavier lead bullets, as I have a custom Blackhawk revolver that uses a slightly shortened 50 A.E. case, & a Marlin Lever action rifle converted to fire 50 A.E.... Also my auto is an Automag 5, which is not gas operated... if you are loading for the Desert Eagle, don't use lead bullets, as they'll foul your gas system... if you are loading for a Freedom Arms or similar revolver, the heavier lead bullets offer that cartridge alot more K.O. power
