Recently picked up a Desert Eagle 44 W/10” 50 AE barrel. Reminds me of the 44 Automag I had in the late 70’s. Got rid of it (and a Python) when the new wife objected to hand guns in the house.
Finally got rid of the wife… Now forever known as ThEx…
The 50 AE works without issue. I have a Red dot sight on it to make it a bit easier to aim. The old Black on Black sights were less than desirable.
Swopped them out for Trijicon's, but then found out only the Israeli 10” barrel works with the tritium sights.
But I digress….
I’m looking to standardize on my powered and it seems like everyone favors H110 for the DE.
Question is a recipe for 140 Gr JHP with H110. I’m looking in the books and the “upper load” favors a quantity that would likely be a compression load for the 140 Gr 44 load. If this is a “safe” load I’m not adverse to it, but would like some recommendations. I also have lots of Unique on hand, which appears to take about a 1/3 of what the H110 load is. 13 Gr tio around 30 Gr.
I have a box of 250 240 Gr Nosler’s that I will be prepping, and have documentation on that bullet H110 combination but not the 140 Gr.
Again, specifically 140 Gr JHP with H110, unless this is a totally unsuitable combination.
Thanks in advance!
