I know you're not supposed to use lead bullets in any of the Desert Eagles, however, couldn't you cast a sufficiently hard bullet so as to negate the lead build up? I have never cast any bullets. I've been thinking about it for a while though. :)

Jacketed bullet selection for the 50AE is very small. I'm looking for a bit more choices.

Thanks:)

You'll also have problems with bullet lube build-up.

Oooooo....forgot about that. Good thing....thats why I asked. :)

So.....I guess with the DE, its only jacketed...period.

Rats :( I was hoping for a better selection than what Speer has. ;)

my buddy AL shoots them in his all the time. We once shot @500 of them without a hicup of any kind. According to him cleaning the gas port isnt that bad of a job. Ive seen groups at around an inch at 25 with them in his

ps his recomendation is to use hard bullets at least 18bhn and use a hard lube.
