Apparently Kahr / Magnum Research / Desert Eagle has introduced a new cartridge, the .429 DE. Basically a .50ae necked down to .429 (i.e. 44 magnum bullets) which will be 25% faster than a 44 mag with 57% more energy. 240gr bullets at 1600fps for 1405 ft.lbs and 210gr bullets at 1750 fps for 1427 ft.lbs.
In the 90's Corbon produced a 440 Corbon cartridge which was a 50ae case necked down to .429 that sent 240gr bullets down Desert Eagle tubes at 1800fps for 1727 ft.lbs of energy... which is 454 Casual energy levels.

I will save the next 50 posters the trouble... I know, who cares!
