Magnum Research Desert Eagle 429DE 240gr JHP Ammunition

Description

The 429DE is a purpose-built cartridge for Desert Eagle owners, and this ammunition puts you right where you need to be. Magnum Research developed this round specifically for the platform, taking all the lessons learned from previous attempts at necked-down big bore cartridges and getting it right the first time. Unlike earlier efforts, the 429DE features engineering that actually works in a semi-automatic pistol.

What Makes This 429DE Loading Stand Out

This 240-grain jacketed hollow point gives you serious performance without the punishing recoil of 50 AE loads. The round launches at approximately 1600 feet per second, delivering 45% more energy than a comparable .44 Magnum load from a six-inch barrel. That translates to a flatter trajectory, better accuracy at distance, and more stopping power downrange. The hollow point design expands reliably for defense or hunting applications where the gun's purpose demands it.

Built for Reliability

Startline brass combined with HSM's loading in Montana means you're getting quality components from the ground up. The critical detail here is the 30-degree shoulder and elongated neck, which gives you a firm crimp that holds bullets in place through magazine feeding and extraction cycles. This addresses the whole reason the earlier .440 Cor-Bon never stuck around. Twenty rounds per box, ready to go from the factory.

Range and Hunting Use

If you've got a 429DE chambered Desert Eagle, you've made a choice that sets you apart. This ammunition pairs perfectly with that investment, whether you're working on accuracy at the range or preparing for serious hunting applications. The ballistics keep your projectile supersonic well past 100 yards, making this genuinely capable for medium to larger game.
