If you decide to go with one, let me know what finish you want and I will give you a quote on it.

I like and own the .44mag DE.
Like you, I reload for all three of my.44 mags.
I had a DE .44/.50 and was offered a trade for a .41/.44 with Magnum Research installed adjustable sights.
I jumped on that one.
Those adjustable sights were too good to pass up, and I wouldn't care to have the .50.
Just too expensive. With a boatload of .44 brass, why buy the expensive .50 brass???
When I want to make noise at the range, I have a great reload using 200 HP/XTP and H110 that will wake up the dead.

Go with the .44mag
You won't be sorry.

I think that might have been mine. My brother and I were there, he brought his AAC 300 Blackout. I could be wrong though.

Haha, yep small world eh!? That DE is comically big and fun though, thanks for the chance to shoot it. And that .300 sure is nice, if ammo was cheaper I'd get one.
