New hunting calibre for Desert Eagle - 429 DE - 11/08/2018 10:06 AM
Just came across article about a new cartridge for Desert Eagles released by Magnum Research, the 429 DE.

The cartridge is a 50AE necked down to 429. Meant to give about a 25% boost over .44MAG. (Similar to the old 440 Cor Bon). While the articles emphasizes higher velocities, I think hunters will be more interested in how it handles heavy for caliber projectiles in the 300gr+ range.
Any chance any of our in gun writer members could get a hold of one and do a review from a hunter's perspective?
