question for the 50AE reloaders

[pigpen66m]

I've reloaded 100 rounds of 50AE 50 with 29 gr of w296 and 50 with imr 4227. It looked like they had a good crimp everything fit in the mags. But I was having failure to feed issues with both loads. Anyone have suggestions on how to eliminate the issue.

Did you try and see if they fit in the barrel chamber? If they fit there, it's a mag issue more than likely. So you need another mag to test it....

You didn't mention bullet weight or powder weight for the 4227.

29 gr is on the light side for 50ae, actually it's the starting load. You may be short stroking the gas action, ejecting the empty but not grabbing the next round.

Bullet weight is 335gr. 29gr seemed yo be the consensus for the w296. 27.2 gr for the IMR A4227 Rainier gave me the load data for both.

What is your COL?

This load is problem-free in my DE.

Yeah what kinda pills you running?

I have only reloaded 5 50AE rounds and they had no primers and no powder in them. They looked hella nice though.

Much longer than 1.600 and you might have issues. AND I think 335 was about the heaviest I would want to go in a Deagle.

I recently loaded my first 10 rounds of 50AE (325gr). I had one that misfed because I tried loading it to 1.600".

I'm running .335gr plated bullets from Rainier. I'm thinking it's a crimping issue. Since the fit in the mag and fire.once chambered.

I had mine at 1.580

Try not using less crimp or none at all. See if that helps. I don't crimp and it feeds without problems except the one I loaded at 1.600".
