deadeye, yes, I did win it off ebay and it seems to me that your 10" is a more practical length for the cartridge. I may have it cut to that length. I have two boxes of Speer Gold Dot 300gr already. Long ago I had a line on a Desert Eagle 50AE and put the cart before the horse so to speak. Ammos just been sitting around for a few years. Never could bring myself to get rid of it and now I'm glad I didn't.
I'll try AA#9, thanks.
No, no 50Alaskan in my future. No need, my 300 Win Mag will handle any beast I'd be willin to take with a handgun.
