Says it laughs at the 44 mag? No doubt only a matter of time before we see some revolvers for this too I reckon.

Nice. Oooooh buddy, did you see the price on the rounds? Definitely have to reload those. Makes me feel better about the 10mm I’ve had a hankering for recently though. Always look at the good side. I can use that cost savings when explaining to the wife too.

I am just glad there is finally ANY pistol round between 50AE and 10mm Auto... Not that various gun manufacturers haven’t worked around this with revolver rounds, like Magnum Research, Coonan, AMT and others. I can’t wait to see IF another company chambers for this round second in an auto. With some knowledge of how the 440 CorBon round went, I am glad this is happening now under better conditions. I wonder if a BFR is likely for this round, other than as a custom build.


I will be ordering a barrel or barrels (6” & 10”) day one. Nothing on Magnum Research website yet though.


Can’t wait!

This is a niche cartridge just because you can.

I suppose you are correct... even with the popularity of the 50AE, it is barely mainstream... I edited some of the "fan-boy-ness" out of my post.

I suppose it isn't the fact that 357 Mag and 44 Mag being revolver cartridges that deters gun makers from using them, because the companies that want to use rimmed cartridges, find a way that works reasonably. Even if niche cartridge, for myself, I am glad this is being done, and I will be buying the ammo for some time. And though I am not a re-loader quite yet, I keep all my big brass for when that time comes. When loading dies become available, I will get them for 429 also. Most likely, I will get a chamber reamer also if that becomes available.

So for me, this is a great opportunity to enjoy another caliber with the Desert Eagle. Look forward to performance and chrono-data soon after I get them.

Please don't get me wrong. I like some non standard calibers. My grail caliber has been a 38 Super. Ammo is always a little hard to find but is available.

I have read a little about that chambering before... several changes and variants of the rim and headspace issues over the years. I am guessing all of that is more stable in modern times and the firearms that shoot it.

Kimber makes some precision stuff for sure... if anyone was going to make a non-standard caliber work reliably, it would be them.

I have ordered one... they have listed the 6" standard barrel in black. At least they aren't gouging us on the early run, like happens with some products.

Here is the page where I ordered...

Now to get some ammo...

This is very true when you think about it... and this is why it is a perfect match for a niche pistol which also was made just because they could.

Edit: Ammo is now listed on Magnum Research site...
