    Good 50ae recipe for a nice fireball?

    When I first got my desert eagle, it came with this Speer factory ammo that produced a fantastic fireball. It just made shooting it that much cooler!

    I searched and found that ammo is no longer in production so I figured, I'll just load up my own.

    I already load 45,40, and 9mm on a 650 and 550. Was planning on using the 550 for this little venture.

    Anyone have a good recipe?

    Thanks!

    Find load data with the slowest burning powder. When I was using Longshot for my 45 ACP and loaded near max, it would throw some nice fireballs.

      Thanks for the info.
      I looked back and the factory load that was great for fireballs was Samson ultra.
      I did some more searches and found some good recipes. If I can find all the components than I'm going to try this out..
      1) 34.5gr of W296 powder (maybe H110 if I can't find 296)
      2) Speer 300gr GDHP bullet
      3) Winchester Large Pistol Primer
      4) COL: 1.575"

      We shall see..
