Xtreme bullets and LSWC data is interchangeable, reduce by 10% and work up to the 6grn mark. I'm sure ur safe with that.

[Fordtrucks]

Im not sure I follow? ~5.3 would be ur starting load, then go up or down at ur discretion, checking for pressure signs going up and checking for reliable cycling, positive ejection and "last round" lock up on the way down.

That's would be what I would go with, but maybe some one else has a differnt oppinion.

On a big heavy action like the DE i would be inclined to go up, just my thought, but u can go down if u like.

From what I have seen posted here on Calguns, I don't think Bullseye is going to be your powder choice for the Desert Eagle.
I understand the Desert Eagle needs Hot loads to cycle the action, you won't get this from Bullseye.
You will have better luck with H-110, Alliant 2400, Accurate No. 9, Power Pro 300-MP or IMR 4227.
Maybe someone with experience reloading for a Desert Eagle will chime in and set the record straight.

I load for 44 mag. but Bullseye isn't one of the powders I would even consider, for plinking I like Unique and fast jacketed bullets Win 296 now I'm old school these have been my favorites for decades. I like Bullseye also just not for the 44 mag.

[PatC415]

I have never loaded for the Desert Eagle, but my experience with 44 mag is Bullseye works well with JHP, not for lead. Not sure what bullet weight you are planning on using.
Just above 357 Magnum suggested powders in the H110, 300MP, A#9, 4227.
those work well with LSWC, or JHP.
You'll find lots of load data for them. You can't push lead bullets very fast with Bullseye in 44 mag, you'll get leading, and light loads may or may not cycle your desert eagle.

5.0 grians in a revolver is good DE no clue

Does anyone use bullseye to reload 44 Remington magnum. I found this but that's not the bullets I'll be using. I'll be using extreme bullets. Any links would help. Oh and I'll be shooting out of my desert eagle

Why would you waste bullseye powder in a 44 mag load?

AA7, AA9, 2400, Blue Dot, 300-MP and W296/H-110 <=== Deagle Loads

But really, only H-110/W296, 2400, 300-MP, and AA9... <=== Deagle Loads

I think if you use bullseye in a 44 mag load you are doing yourself a really bad disservice. <=== May not make enough gas to cycle, but I could be wrong.


I would use the blue dot for .44 mag if you have no h-110 or 2400 or aa9 to allocate. Blue dot is a good 44 mag load if you have no real 44 mag powders.

I would save the bullseye to use on .45. Good stuff.

For me though, an IDEAL set of powders for Deagle is 300-MP (flame thrower that lights up the room) Blue-Dot (for tagging the people to my right with my shells), and H-110 (for scaring the **** out of everyone else).

LoL. There ya have it right there.

FWIW, I'd stay away from Xtreme bullets when it comes to magnum loads. I've used them on more than one occasion with full house .357 and .44 Mag loads and they simply can't handle the velocity. In every instance, I found plating on the table in front of me and even sticking in the the target. Accuracy was nonexistent.

Now then, some months ago I wanted to put together some loads in a .44 Mag case that simulated .44 Spl. I used W231 and for that load, the Xtreme's worked just fine.

[llazyjs]

Started loading up Hornady 240 gr XTP's with 23 gr of W 296. I've got a boatload of W296 and H-110 and have come to realize I'd better buy a boatload of Hornady 240 gr XTP hollow points to go with all that powder. I've got about 1000 240 gr X-treme plated bullets that I'll save for .44 special and W231. Got a bunch of these Gateway 240 gr bullets with their Hi-Tek Supercoat on them that I haven't figured out what to do with yet. Probably use them for .44 special loads as well. Never used these Gateway bullets before.

I really like Win 296 in the 44 mag. I just make sure I stay in the min-max recommended data.

If these Gateway projectiles are anything like the Missouri Bullet Co. Hi Tek coated stuff, you'll absolutely love them for "Full House" magnum loads. The Missouri stuff is is Brinell rated at 18 (not sure about Gateway) and definitely suitable for magnum stuff. I'm using their 240gr "Elmer-K" (SWC) on top of 23.5gr/W296 and 24gr/300-MP and they are very consistent, accurate and the Hi-Tek coating negates the need for lube. I've also experienced ZERO leading of the barrel.

Otherwise, I'd definitely stick with something jacketed like the XTP's that you mentioned or Speer, etc...

[jumbopanda]

No Bullseye load will cycle the DE.

[samcam13]

No Bullseye load will cycle the DE.

Agreed!

Fastest burning powder I ever had success with is blue dot and that was a bit over max. Alliant 2400 was the fastest that would reliably cycle the DE. I like to stay in the range of ramshot enforcer, ww 296, 300MP for best results.

The Gateway bullets are Brinell rated at 18 as well. They have a bevel base on them too. I picked up 300 of them from Reloaders Supply in Riverside thinking I'd give em a try. Can't go wrong with the XTP's. Pricy little buggers though for punching paper and ringing steel but I've got a lot of powder to use up.
